i don't think it looks that bad. Other then the tail lights, its looks decent.

I HATE shorty, round cars. looking at it straight forward from the front, it doesnt look too bad. Look how small the windows are...and how bubbly and short it looks. The rear = vomit

Honda's never done it right anyway; I mean for the civic.

I like it. It just isn't very grown-up looking. I dunno, maybe it's the yellow like someone mentioned earlier. ...or those valences?
Even if I loved the way it drove, I'd feel like a complete knob riding around in something that looks like that.

come on guys it doesnt look that bad except the whole freakin car it does look like an egg after the yr 2000 they havent done right with civics although i do like the rims :naughtyd:

Aww, it looks like a mini- Lexus RX330...
Why do i suddenly see a market for non-euro taillights, stockish wheels, and plain-jane/stock look body kits?

that shit is cool looking. i like WRCish March/Escort Cossie/206 look it kinda has going on. stock 240's are gay looking, fix those.

hum.... rear view isn't good... watch out while backing out :keke:
Seriously though, cars these days are getting so fucking roundish, and I hate that.
Z is about as round as you could get with a car...

its a type-r pIkAcHU! :eek2:
but really, it looks like an r/c car to me...maybe it will grow on me.
All of your reactions are the reasons the US gets Civic Si coupes instead of hatches. The american mindset towards design is much more conservative and unwilling to change than in europe or Japan. Why do you think that some of the most anticipated upcoming cars in the US are restyled classics?
Personally I think this the hottest looking civic I've ever seen, even better than when the EK9 CTR came out.

Its a little too tall.
Even if all they do is shave a couple hundred lbs from the curb weight, it should be the fastest type R on paper (bar the NSX-R).
Maybe they'll make a special rear suspension for it...the Si already has a front helical diff as well, so it'll turn

that does NOT look like any of those. 206's and 307's are sexy, as are the other WRC cars. this looks like ass; this car looks like those retarded 'chibi' pictures people draw of their cars with bigass wheels and a smaller profile.
It's just not very sleek... New cars these days look like Kirbys or Jigglypuffs, they're just blown up - too high, too wide.

only new cars i can stand to look at are the is250 <3 and miata.

The Nissan looks better.
I thought the Crown shares the same platform with the Lexus LS.....no?

It probably is a good explination to why Honda sales have dropped in the last 2 years. Honda is now 4th in the import market.
Toyota 1
Subaru 2
Nissan 3
Honda 4
Honda designs are lame..

Do you have any stats (sales numbers) to go with that ranking? Curious to see how Subaru is #2, because I see Toyota and Honda in larger numbers than Subaru.

It's ranked in the Bloomberg report and was featured on FOX channel 2news last thursday.
I was blown to see that Subaru was listed number 2 in car sales, I guess people like 4wheel drive, and the fact that they beat Volvo in crash safety testing.
Car sales doesn't necesarily deal with how many cars are sold, it's all about profit.
This is also based on international sales.

nissan sport concept = pretty good looking
civic si wheels on the sport concept FTW!!!

What makes this and Type R? Same engine as the Si:

Looks like a cross between the new Si and the Chevy Aveo.

now, on topic, i have to say that the new civic is pretty popular, contrary to what most people say in forums. that's just my observation, although i still think it looks like poop. at least it's a hatch..............

I think of Bumblebee from the Transformers in like 2024. He was always kinda a tart if you ask me. Always getting his ass handed to him, and someone else bailing him out. Haven't really seen but a few of the new episodes, but I do have the box DVD set of the original. Whatever. Don't like it overal, but dig the front end from straight on though.

Since the old SI hatchback's sales were so abysmal, I doubt honda will bring that piece of garbage over here. Its JDM tyte even in the early stages.

Honda meets Chrysler's cab forward design. Forward balance helps out with those E-Brake drifts:p

Wow, what is it with car companies and the seemingly endless parade of UGLY ASS CARS?
Just add this one to the list.
Sharp, agressive lines + roundness = vomit to the infinite power
Nissan hasn't really dissapointed recently. I mean they do have some ugly concepts, but atleast they dont put them to (USDM) market.
