What if the G6 were just making its debut now, against today's crop of mostly ugly cars? Do you think it would be the hottest thing on the street?

Well I probably wouldn't be able to afford one brand new
 I'd have like a cb7 accord or something...I'm sooo glad I decided against that and bought the celi. But yes, styling wise our cars DO look better than 99% of the new cars comming out, though they would need to be more powerfull to really compete.

Okay, I checked the horsepower ratings again for the domestic models in the brochure. I guess the U.S. models were 135 hp because of some quota about average corporate gas mileage, but in Japan they were 255, 180, or 140. That's net. I don't know if they rate horsepower differently in the U.S.
Price? Yeah. Mine was over $30,000 in 1995, but that was new and a domestic version of the convertible. Used it wouldn't be much today. I don't know what the price would be for a 2008 Celi if they existed. If it were being introduced just now, of course, the technology would be updated, and if the market demanded it, one would hope the horsepower would be competitive. In asking the question, I was thinking mainly about the styling, and I feel it has held up pretty well in that regard. I don't see many good-looking new cars these days.
