It looks like it will compete well against the Scion tC. Both are small looking sort of hatchback coupe styled cars. 200HP iVTEC with 6-Speed in a car like the Civic sounds good though.

good stuff, the Current Si/SiR (Cdn) is just too slow and clumsy.

I know it DOES NOT HAVE YELLOW FOGS!!?!?!

I must say, it has a nice rear, like the TSX and TL. All those cars have very nice rear ends to me.

Cool

Um, that's kinda lookin' hot. Hopefully they didn't use the 4-door chassis as the base again.

And too bad it's probably going to be over $20K.

What's wrong with yellow fogs? One of the things I like best about the IS3 is the super yellowness of the fogs.

I dunno what to think about the tailpipe placement... I guess it's, er, unique.
