Looks exactly the same as the previous model to me.

Oh boy.... yet another luke-warm coupe that will be buzzing around me like a bumble bee on the freeway and revving at every stoplight... ;)

The type s would make an awesome daily driver. Best interior for less than $50K.

Still needs larger wheels and a decent set of tires.

This is a front wheel drive car--not intended to be taken serious--one could drive it in the winter. What do you guys like as far as daily drivers are concerned(US market)?

Hell the Accord has a better interior. This rivals a Civic almost. It's better, but its not much of an achievement.

Why would you say for less then 50k when this costs approx. 25k? your not helping your argument there at all and you're wrong anyways but i'm sure you know that by now

The white background of the dials gives a nice sporty feel, but other than that I think the interior looks like cheap plastic...
