Red and Yellow sounds nasty together. I would like to see a yellow/black interior combo on the Rio yellow cars. As far as I was told by my sales person at Honda when I talked to her about an '04. The only color that is available with the red/black interior combo is the silver. However that may change as I am sure it will if demand is high enough. I would like to see black and red offered with the red/black interior combo. I would snatch up a red one in a heartbeat. Now if I could just get my hands on an Imola orange with an orange/black combo then all would be right with the world

I like it a lot! I think the changes that Honda made are very nicely done, yet modest which is good, and tasteful. The two tone seats, and center console are pretty sharp indeed. I also like the upsized wheels quite a bit, and the rear bumper especially. I'm undecided on the headlights at this point. Overall though, I have to give it a big .

Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of the Mitsubishi that I'm currently driving.

 

Thank you for that information. I have one question. Can you get the new Red/Black interior with the New Formula Red exterior?

Thanks,

Rich

 

If you go back a few pages you can see all the colors and their matching interiors. My understanding is NO, only the silver cars get the Red/Black interiors. But, that can change pretty easily depending on corporate. I hope Honda execs read this board. If I can't get Black with Red/Black, It will be a lot harder to convince myself to get an 04. Black/Black is ok, but not nearly as cool as Black with Red/Black. Who knows, we'll find out the official color combos soon enough I guess.

 

Which is where the expression "Stroker Crank" comes from a common expression from my hot rodding days.

 

hmmmmm i wonder if they will they be offering a factory body kit ?

 

On a different note concerning the new 2.2 engine, does anyone know if Honda changed the VTEC point on the 2.2? My understanding is that the 2.0 would cross to the high end cam profiles around 6k, give or take a little. I'd imagine the 2.2, having a power band that's optimal a little lower in the rpm band and a lower redline, might enter VTEC a little lower too. Is there anyway to confirm this?

Just wondering,
Drive Safe,

i hope vtec hits at 1k rpm... :-) that'd be awesome.
