Is the EP3 being droped from the line for 2004?

 

nope, its back with some minor revisions. check out http://www.vtec.net Most of the changes are cosmetic...but it gets 16" rims and 5lug.

With the bringing of the 04 Ep to the states it makes me wonder what view Honda has for the future of the States...

Now that I see the VTEC NET pictures of the USDM '04 EP3, it doesn't look like we're getting the same projectors. The low beam looks like a smaller reflector instead of the projector on the UKDM car.

You also have to look at comparing the EP3-R to the EP3.... maybe this is why there is different projectors? now I wonder if the Euro EP3 and the USDM EP3 have the same headlights?

I am ready for something new. Miss the days of Offroading and camping and i doubt my current EM1 can fill that need. And tired of my Current HONDA i can spring for both New EP3 and used truck but is it all worth it and having the EM! all these cars and not all of them being driven all the time and all the MONEY for maint. blah

 

dam thats one ugly ep

 

eeek, the 02-03 EP3 looks a lot better than that 04.

Both of them somewhat looks like a small bus / mini-van. Not the standard-looking Honda hatch.

 

hmm thats odd no marker lights on the CTR

I disagree. When it was first introduced, many thought the 5th generation hatch looked like a two-door wagon (shooting brake George?). In my mind, the EP is quite the modern interpretation of the classic Honda hatch.

In fact, if one looks at the rear window angle (one of the prominent and defining design characteristics of Civic hatches) for all model years, one would see that the current EP has more in common with the "standard" Civic hatch than did the 2nd and 6th generations.

I agree

 

04 si doesnt look good at all. those headlights are ugly imo
i will stick with my 03 si

 

psst
check the mirrors

led turn signals

hence no markers

 

X,

I'm not so sure about that (unless you were referring to the CTR). Have you
seen the 'new' vtec.net photos of the FP Si at Nopi?



The headlights have a turn signal, it's just sort of integrated into the bottom of them.
Kind of funky, IMO.

EDIT: nm, I'm stupid (and it's late). But I wonder if the CTR has a similar type
of turn signal in the light...

I agree. Very professional photograph. The composition of the picture is spot-on also. Not altogether on-topic, but definitely worth commenting on.

no ******* here, im actually a big fan of the EP3 and think when done right, has amazing potential. just disappointed with honda for giving the goodies to the rest of the world. IMO the new 04-R is AMAZING looking. perhaps the nicest looking type-r built and with the power to back it up.

I sincerely apologize. In this case, I am indeed the ******* for making such a remark and assuming your intent.
