Default New OPTIMA Battery for Civic/Integra/RSX/S2000

FYI. OPTIMA released the new group 51 and 51R battery at the IAS show last weekend. It is a yellowtop battery with 500CCA. They are in production now and expect delivery to distributers next week. It is a direct fit for Civic/Integra/RSX/S2000/CRV. Its about time.
