at first glance it looks like a mazda 3 sedan? of course hidden under so much body cladding and disguised

Can already imagine people slapping on chrome 18's and dumped on its belly LOL.

But seriously the C pillar section does have a fair bit of Mazda 3 in it. It also looks BIG.

Do any of you guys realise that it has had things put on it so you cant see what it will really look like?

The holes in the tail lights are to disguise what the tail lights will actually look like, it also has cladding along the sides to hide the true side shape.

Personally I think its a hell of a lot better than recent sedans, which looked like total arse IMHO.

The tail lights I imagine will look really nice when they take the white crap off them and the shape is already good. The final product I think from whats been shown there will look really nice although as it is, its too hard to say for sure.

If you're having trouble beliving me often car pro's have mixed up test cars when they have seen photos them because they look so mangled with the extra crap attached to hide the true style of the car.

lol SIKCVC that was what i was gonna say.... the producers arent stupid enough to drive around with it in its exact form cos......... anyone??? it'd get snapped and pics leaked. Hence, disguise. ^_^ keke

from the looks of it, it has a centre mounted instrument cluster like the echo.. :( I hate that.. why cant things be driver oriented like they used to be, like the E36 3 series.. I like the feeling of being wrapped up in the dash.

And why is everything new so tall...?! What happened to low slung cars that looked like they were going fast sitting at the lights? All new hatches (from japan anyway) look like people movers for midgets.. :( and the sedans look too chunky.. still this one looks kinda ok, would like t have seen the front tho.. wonder what sork of tail light and bumper design its sporting?

people are bigger/fatter/wider/taller - car has to accomodate this
also for to allow for structure rigidity in crash safety etc

ah yes, gone are the days of low-slung cars which are (generally) better aerodynamically (lower Cd?).

Unfortunately we've come to expect that from Honda Civics now so it wouldn't surprise me if it is.

The EG hatch was the best and last of the civic range ;)
