This would be a serious contender for me, if, it wasn't so FUCKING UGLY.
The latest Gen Civics look like sacs of hammered assholes. I see them all over the place, and they're not growing on me (at least in a positive way).
Now, the '17 R 'plant in the '15 Si Coupe? I'd probably throw obscene money at that, make it AWD, and I'd probably throw in a kidney too. Fucking Honda.
As it happens to be, maybe next summer I'll start looking for a replacement.
In light of the beaten-with-syphillc-dick looks of the Civics.... it may be time to jump off the bandwagon. 35-40k would buy a lot of things...
Not too keen on the new WRX looks either.
Maybe I just need to go balls out and get something with a V8. (again, next summer, most likely)
