Default May be buying a new car?!

So....I know I am not buying a Scion but I still know all of you and would love an opinion. I was looking at the new Si the other day and was thinking about trading mine in for one. But...I just don't think I like the styling that much. I hate the spoiler and I don't really like the red and black suede interior that comes standard. So, I was thinking about an S2000, probably white or black. What do you all think?! Any opinion would be ok...

Hmm. Civic SI or S2000. Quite a gap there, isn't it? I checked out the SI, and I think it rocks. The styling is a little funny, like the tC. I wouldn't trade for that - and besides good luck getting an SI! They are typically gone before they get there. If I didn't have my car though, I would definitely consider one of those fully loaded. (If I already wasn't infatuated with WRXs.)

Sounds like you're pretty strictly Honda, huh. Personally I think you should get a Scion and tell them I referred you.

The S2000 is incredible. No contest.

Not strictly Honda but I am not sure what else. I don't think I could do the tC...it would just be a little weird. I have some sore feelings I guess you could say. There is a big gap..that is why I am not sure what I would want to do. I was thinking the Saturn Sky...I really like the styling but they are a first year car...the only sports car saturn would have...not specs taht I know of that are concrete...too many unknowns. I talked to Hopkins Honda, the guys there told me they have 4 coming in that are the color I want, they do not sell them ahead of time, no waiting list....but I just don't think I like it.

I love the Saturn Sky -- but I couldn't wait for it to come out before buying a car. The dealership here kept telling us they were pushing back the release date. I'm too impatient --

The s2000 is nice!

I really do not like the WRX. There is something about a 4dr "sports" car that I just can not get in to. I love the Si...but am not in love with it like I am my current SI.

I don't know right now. I hate winter! I need to get a better winter truck before I can get a nicer summer car I think. I wouldn't want to risk getting the S2K and having to drive it in the winter cause my truck is not working....like right now. My BF is driving my Honda because my truck isn't working.

I noticed the S2000 was rated one of the most reliable cars by this year's Consumer Reports auto edition.
