When I had mine, a friend took a picture of his greyhound crouching, he said it looked like that. I'll get him to send the picture, and I'll post it.


i love the fact the our coupes polarize people...waiting to pay a toll one time, there was a girl who stuck her head out the window of her friends car screaming "i love your car"...

but i also get a kick out of some of the knicknames people have come up with...

Clown shoe
Civic on steroids
and there's another one that escapes me at the moment...anyone heard any others?

Some friends and I were looking at my Coupe the other night, trying to figure out why some people hate the look, while others like it. Here's my theory:

If you look at the Coupe from the side, and standing back 15 ft or more, the sill line dips down in the middle of the door. Almost subconsciously, it seems to make the car look like it's sagging in the middle.

Has anyone else noticed this?
