I have a friend with 3 first gen Si's. While one is a 26k mile time capsule, the other ones... well... I think if you parked a CRX too near a lawn sprinkler it would rust away overnight.

Should have changed the rear badging to read "S5.0".

I don't care much for the Little Orphan Annie empty eye look either. Hyundai copied the W210 look too.

Coming up with a design that everyone likes is difficult. Have a look at the all steel 30's Chrysler Airflow, looks pretty good right? It sold about as well as the Pontiac Aztek because buyers were used to square cars built of wood.
