Wife has already approved green or purple. She's had 4 new cars since I last had mine (growing family). She is just happy for me to get a new car. ?

As far as purple, the Dodge and M240i come to mind.

Everything I have heard about the Type-S so far sounds completely suitable for my needs. I have not had a new car in 15 years, and I am really looking forward to this one. My only real hope is that it might be available in a deep green or purple.

Why would they change it for the Civic Type-R? Alas, here we are.

To each their own. I'm a big fan of the definition in the fenders, as long as they are not tacked-on a la FK8. A duckbill spoiler would seal the deal for me.

Same here! Pleasantly surprised!

I completely agree. I have called four dealers so far. Two of them (thankfully reasonably close to me) have given me measured responses along the lines of "we are aware of the recent press release regarding the prototype, but we do not have any more information than that from Acura; I can take...
