A Fit Si would be awesome. Just toss in the Civic's 1.5T (not even the Si engine).

As to the Civics...These cars could fly and hit 200 mph in the quarter and i wouldn't care. SO. UGLY.

It is like they had a couple of different fake vent design teams that didn't communicate with each other on how many and how large they should be so just put them all on.

Yes, I would totally buy a Fit Si for a cheap commuter/grocery getter.

Yep, the Civic has ballooned in size. It's the largest car in its segment and in sedan form is 182 inches long on a 106 inch wheel base. For reference, that's almost the exact same size as the 7th generation Accord/TSX.

No kidding. The '77 Civic Wagon I drove in college was 160" with a 86" wheel base.

Boy I loved that little green monster. Too bad all of them basically rusted away.

I am about too....Found a 2018 Type R in white due in a couple of weeks. Price MSRP with no add ons. I had a 2009 4 door Si and it was a great car. Looking forward to the new Type R. I figure it will be a nice complement to my '97 NSX. If I had keep the BRZ I was planning to spend money on headers, tune and coilovers etc. My BRZ is for sale on Cargurus now.

Have you driven the Type R yet? There are none close enough to me to check out in person.

I have not driven one yet. I have only seen a couple in person. Both at dealers asking way over MSRP.
