I know they have had the EL there for years, and aside from the front and rear being different it was a Civic. You now get a base RSX engine and, uhm, I guess an automatic with flappy paddles. Yay. How exciting. :roll2:

Yay, substance free websites, kinda like those ads that have nothing to with the product… :tdown:
Speaking of tacky websites I just noticed [scion.com](http://scion.com) has the supercharger listed as available for the tC. So tempting. :tup:

The paddle demo is a bit odd, to me. When I shift from 1st to 2nd (or any upshift for that matter) the RPMs don’t go from 6000 back down to 1500. What kind of gear ratios does that thing have? :eek:
