Just curious what you think about these new colors. Which do you like better? Thinking about adding another Si sedan to the family.

Thanks in advance!

 

like the new orange

 

X2 on the new orange

 

orange...the new blue is fugly

 

They really blew it with the new blue. Orange is appealing though.

 

Yea I agree with them all

The new blue looks girlish, but the new Orange is different. The new colors are wak IMHO

Black/White FTW IMHO FTMFW

 

<----- Refuses to vote until pics are posted.

Yes....i'm too lazy to google it.

 

I honestly hate both colors. I was never a fan Habenero Red Pearl, but it looks amazing next to Redline Orange Pearl. DBP is even worse. It looks like they took Fiji Blue and mixed it with Atomic Blue to make the ugliest color known to man.

Honda definitely did drop the ball on the new colors. IMHO, I'd go with a returning color such as ASM or TW. Those and RR are the only returning colors and I don't like the red on sedans.

Honestly OP, if you haven't seen these colors in person, wait. Internet pictures of these colors do not do their ugly-ness justice.

But if I must pick, I despise the orange less, so go with that.

 

The blue seems more like a teal than a blue. When I saw it in person, you could definitely tell that there was some green in it. I think it is very ugly. The orange is ok, but I agree with Fiji here....go with one of the returning colors because they look so much better. Even better, get a 2008 Fiji Blue Si if you can If you have to go with the redline orange or the dyno blue, my vote would be for the redline orange (the lesser of 2 evils).


Here you go Rico:

What's the new Ralleye Red? and how about Alabaster Silver?

 

Ralleye Red, Alabaster Silver Metallic and Tafetta White all returned for the '09 model year. Those colors are the same as 06-08.

 

Bleh, DBP is ok, just saw one in person. Looks greenish

 

Would you say it looks more green in person?

I ask because the green is very prevalent in photos.

 

Thanks for the replies. I just paid off the TW 07 Si this week so I bought my wife an Orange 09 Si to replace her 96 Integra!!! She is really happy

Color is so subjective but it's nice to know what you guys think. I really like the new orange and I'm glad we got it instead of the blue. They had both at the dealership.

We test drove all the new Civic's and Fit's and for difference in price the Si just make more sense if you want a manual with Navi. The local dealership offers a lifetime warranty (for the original owner) on the drive train which is interesting. We plan on keeping the car for a long time so that is good. Overall I'm glad my wife is in a safer car that is super nice!

 

WTF lifetime warranty??? Blasphemy!!!!!

 

You got ripped off. A "lifetime" warranty is a farce.

 

If it cost anything I might agree, but it didn't. It replaces broken, not worn parts for as long as we own the car.

Ive seen both in person and not a big fan of either. If i had to choose between those colors id prolly go blue. The orange just looks like **** IMHO. Im waiting on my TF to show up

 

There is not way its free, otherwise they wouldn't "offer" it as you say, it would just automatically go with every car they sell.

 

Don't take his words out of context. It is something that his particular dealership "offers" to the consumer over other Honda dealerships, because as we all know, most Honda dealerships don't have a lifetime warranty option.

 

That's how they get away with charging $23K+ for an FG2/FA5 without nav.

 

Well do you know how much he paid OTD compared to what he would have paid elsewhere? Just wondering, because you talk like you do..
I have a hard time believing that the cost of this service is not built in there somewhere.

 

I have nothing to prove to you. The guy's no spring chicken, and he already owns an Si, so he knows what they cost. Why the hell would he lie about it? Also, do you have proof he didn't get it for free?

 

wtf???......

 

What do you mean why would he lie about it? I never said he lied about anything, you assumed this "lifetime warranty" is free, i assume there is some charge built in there somewhere.. You ain't gotta prove nothing to me, i never asked you to.
