id have to agree with most of the statements about hondas and stuff. they're not bad cars. a civic is a great little reliable car that has good gas mileage. its the owners that make them stupid. most of the rice cars you see are civics... with like the big aluminum wings and sheat... i dunno, i got a celica becuase everybody in my town has civics or eclipse's... i almost got an eclipse, i think they're great looking cars... id have to say IMO not too far behind a celica... but toyotas reliability pushed me to get the celica... that and theres no compitition to have the best one

to be COMPLETELY honest, wheni was looking for a new car, i was waiting for 2 things- either a celica GT coupe to go for sale, of if i could find a good condition 97+ honda prelude (non SH) stick for under 13,000 that wasnt abused... I wanted the prelude for its speed, and to a degree its quirky styling, but i still hate its interior, and the celica because i LOVE the way the coupe looks... obviously the celica won out, and i have NO regrets, even with a now blown head gasket...

Honda and Toyota both my great cars point blank.. if toyota would come out with a corolla coupe again (passeo) that had all the performance backing the civics has i bet that Interga board would be bitching about them too...
don't hate honda's it's not the cars fault it's drivers have the IQ of G.W. Bush -------------------- |

lol- i like that thought- but to the corolla's defense the paseo/cynos wasn't based on the corolla, it was the trecel/corsa platfrom... -------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06

I think civics are way to common, there everywhere. And yet people who fix them up with the same ebay parts seem to think they have somthing original. somthing I will never get.
As for the integra/celica mix up, I dont see how you could confuse the two, but then again some poeple just dont know much about cars. same kinda thing happens to me, guys pull up in there fixed up civics and ask what kind of turbo I have, I dont know why they think I have a turbo, it dose not sound like it, or show any signs of it, but they do, I just assume they dont know what a turbo is, and think all people who fix up there cars put one, or two in. they just dont know the differance. -------------------- |

Well just for the record - i'm not bashing Honda's. I never said anything in my post that did. Actually, i didn't realize anyone would reply. But to state my story shortly, i'm just sick of everyone thinking that if the car looks good or has anything done to it, it must be a honda. True story- I had my Eclipse before the Ceilca and someone got me type-r badging for my car. I asked him why and he (who has seen my car all around for 1/2 year) told me that no one has a type-r prelude. PRELUDE! They look nothing alike. Granted I shaved my badging, but GOD - its a Eclipse. Plus it seems that all civic/integra owners think that if they add a wing on the back it adds 500 horse. I like Civics and Integras and planned on doing them justice by purchasing a B16 swapped EX in MN but it was a POS so I searched more and found my BEAUTIFUL Celica. I love my car.

I had my corolla mistaken for a civic before, but also had my corolla next to a girls corolla at work, same model, year, and everything, & my co-workers' sister thought my car was a different car than her sisters. so Casey said "He just washes his car" lol

yes, id have to say 6th gens. priced themselves straight out of their own class when they were new, especially the first couple years... the average GT sold for 25 grand new... and that was in 1994... Todays dollars, thats what, 29, 30? The only plus about that is the build quality on our cars- its such a higher standard than anything else in its class, or price range, for that matter.
