Love the brakes...

"Front brakes have been jointly developed with Brembo. Aluminum opposed 4-piston caliper brakes and large-diameter pillar-type discs with excellent heat dissipation properties help reduce brake fade. Brake cooling performance has been improved through the addition of a brake cooling duct and a ventilated splash guard. "

Actually, the ITR sounds pretty cool. You can see that some of the S2000 technology is starting to make it into other Honda models. The tranny sounds familiar, the RSX Type S is also using triple cone synchros.

I think it just takes getting used to. It's sort of like when the gen 2 tegs were replaced by gen 3. Some people didn't like the round headlights at first, but latter on it grew on people.

Looks great. There's nothing wrong with the lights... infact they are about 10 times better than the previous ones... two round things.

I do like the brakes and the shape is so-so. But the lights are too... I can't find a word for it, but they just look wrong to me. LOL

I did like the last gen Integras better. IMO

Hmm ... K20a ... Can't wait to get my hands on a proper test drive. Might decide that to be my other recreational vehicle. You have to give it some credit, I think the look grows on you instead of an instant wow.

Body-design measures to reduce pedestrian injury were expanded to offer lower body and leg protection in addition to head protection, further advancing pedestrian safety.
COOL! so now i can go out and get that new rsx i've always wanted and not feel _too_ guilty about running over a bunch of pedestrians

at least honda's caterering to the "road rage driver" market now.
driving thru crowds just got a lot more exciting
