forgive me for me ignorance...

Excessive lowering...equals declined level of positive handling...(looks cool though)...excessive wear on dampers and struts....and control arms...will cause premature wear...

Fat rims = decreased in acceleration....increased roational inertia...

Big exhaust...as in a cannon style...well depends on taste!...

Not trying to pick on you Sam....I have given Bennyboy a hard time on some occasions as well!....LOL! :lol:

But i suppose to each his own....as you can see im ANTI - rice... :P

cheers

It's nice to see that at a time when Honda Australia/Honda are giving us cars that look like they have been designed by Toyota - that the Accord stands out.

New Civic = fugly - It's bad when you can't find anything nice to say about its looks - even the CTR is pushing it (not that we get it - TY Honda, shafted again).

Jazz -looks like a Civic except that if you leant on it, it'd topple over. Actually, I prefer the Jazz to the Civic - but that's not saying much.

Integra - looks ok but cant say it grabs me the way the earlier ones did. Horses for courses, I know they are a great beast, but there's something about the back and interior I don't like.

Accord = sex on wheels

Nices bit of styling I've seen from Honda in 2 years

The Euro Coupe would be even better

the 7th gen civics (wagon-Vi) are pretty nice looking, once you lower it and put some nice rims and a wing IMO.

as for the jazz...it'd b the other choice after the Vi cos it's cheaper :lol:

There's this guy in Syd who's done it..lowered it on it's arse on 19s i fink. The blue !?! colored one with XA3X plates. I lived in the same apartment with him b4 and everytime I would pass his car to get to my parking spot.

Made me love that car ever since. But is there any engine swaps/mods that can be done to those cars-jazz and Vi?? Anybody know??
