1gs were way ahead of its time when it was new. Really showed alot of people what 4 bangers were capable of. Then they designed the 2g to handle all the power a little better.

But as far as looks... To me...

1gs look like they should be racing hondas. 2gs look like they should be racing Vettes and ferraris.
