Default Idea for new Civic model... u think Honda should do it?

Please do not vote if you are a Honda hater no matter what they do. I'm looking for decent responses.

What would you think if Honda built a "sport" model civic that is more affordable and much better looking then the NEW Civic SI. Features from the factory would include:

Power windows
Keyless entry (no power door locks other than keyless, similar to the s2k)
2 dr coupe
no power mirrors (how often does anyone use em?)
no CD player (were going to put one in anyway)
Factory AC is a must on a new car
no sunroof
hubcaps, not rims (were going to put rims on it anyway)
2.0 liter DOHC iVTEC 180-200 horses
all wheel disk w/ ABS
alittle bit sportier suspension
option for factory lip and rear spoiler

MSRP: $16,000?

Is this actually something Honda is thinking of doing Matt?

BTW Drove an 05 Odyssey today. They're a bit more torquier than last year's models

its a brilliant idea. Its basically barebones from the factory so you can mod it out. The best part is the engine and brand new chasis. it gets my big

Basically what it would need to be is an S2000's little brother. Very sporty, not luxurious, and very nice looking. I do think that alloy rims would be a must though. hmmm...sounds like I'm describing a CRX Si huh?? Why doesn't Honda just do that again?
