    WTF, Honda? No Civic hatchback, no Accord wagon. What the hell did we American drivers every do to you???

    Dear Honda,

    You smell.

    @☠Grяrяrяrяrя sings the doom song now!: To be honest this stems from the fact that the US Accord and European Accord hasn't been the same car in over a decade. In fact the US Accord is sold elsewhere as the Inspire now after the Inspire ceased to follow the design of the TL and it has no Wagon variant that I know of. Oddly now the TL is based off of the TSX and JDM Accord. It's very confusing and makes no sense and it would be great if they merged the range again but that is not happening any time soon.

    Yet another great diesel we won't see here in the US. Geez, who wouldn't want a torquey 53mpg car?

    @Turbineguy: Most average Americans (and once again, that excludes the rabid car enthusiast like the ones that populate car blogs) could care less about diesels, because they equate them with slow, smelly, and dirty trucks. Whatever momentum they had in the early 80's, it was quickly snuffed out by the GM Diesels.

    One other thing, it is fairly difficult to get diesels to pass our emission standards because our standards favor lower NOx emissions, while Europe and Japan tend to control C02. NOx is very difficult to control in Diesels without some sort of after-washing system, and still get the same efficiency.

    @dancote: They are failing, the rear door line falls above the wheel well and the rear door handle is hidden in the blacked out c-pillar triangle.

    And not a hint of the dreaded Acura Face syndrome. The pendulum has swung, and Honda's figured out that there's money to be made from and infinite, Scion-like, options list.

    even if their 200hp engine was in it it wouldn't be 'sporty'. that is one slow naturally aspirated POS.

    I like the Si, but a little scared at the poor gas mileage. A lot of people are reporting difficulty in getting anywhere near 30mpg in mixed driving. It's almost worth looking at a Mazdaspeed3, which will probably get the similar mileage if you don't boot it all the time.

    Ditch the passenger mirror for an extra hundredth on the Cd. It's overrated, anyway. Add a rear wheel fairing for an extra couple hundredths, too.


    I guess they're splitting the difference between looks and economy, but I say "go all out and show what can be done"

    I don't understand why cars aren't always designed with efficiency in mind, especially cars that are supposed to be sensible and frugal. Shaving off a few pounds, and some slight aero tweaks aren't a big deal. Other than the faux-GTI grille, I think this looks really sharp.
