What yall think? *2006 civic*
http://www.channel4.com/4car/media/s...-Civic-007.jpg
it loosk like a freaking Daewoo. Pfft.
Dude that is what I was thinking.... looks like a mix between the lanos and some kind of Citroen!!
S2000 inspired front..... man even with my contacts out I could tell that has nothing to resemble a S2k front. :confused:
Long live the EF EG and EKs!
Yet another line of Civics ruined. This thing is a disgrace. Looks like a Lanos/4 year old Corrolla. :honda: :thumbdwn:
The back reminds of of the Ford Ka
Oh no........what are they doing?
*pats EG*
My god, that better not be the next civic, so horrible looking.
its got cool trianangular tail pipes though :)
This make me love my EK even more. Last of the good Civics IMO. Hang on, why such a decline? They produced 3 consecutive lines of GOOD Civics. What the bloody hell happened????
P.S. Loving that name bigdongers. Cracking me up - which is needed as broken right foot = shit.
looks like a bloody corolla. But i think they are saying that is the hatch version and the coupe, which isnt pictured has an s2000 inspired front.
Front lights looks like the Euro
What are the people at Honda thinking????...They outsourced their designing work or what!!!
agree with all comments. :( looks horrible. Everything started to go down hill after the ek.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm matt black
GOD F'in damn that thing is hideous, i thought they would have learned after the EP that the space shuttle, MPV look isnt ****ing stylish :thumbdwn: :thumbdwn: :thumbdwn: :thumbdwn:
There is some potential in that front end though, in coupe form it might turn out to look decent
as said before. it looks like a fcucking daewoo...
Why does it have european plates?
it sure looks more european then a japanese hatch
i hope that article is wrong, and its really a new, peugeot 206....or something.
sure looks like its based off one

i really hope your right cuz that is one of the ugliest car i ever seen in my sheepish life O_o
NO way. Yeah that "2006 civic" looks like utter crap but i think that the ep3 would have to be the best looking civic. I hope that this isn't true because its just really really really shite lookin (could have added a few more really's there :D )Quote:

And I thought the latest model hatch was ugly, this new one is sooo much uglier!
Definately looks like a Daewoo! :thumbdwn:
Hopefully that site got there wires crossed and its not the Civic!
Yeah, baffles me why they need licensed plates to test a car on an enclosed track thoughQuote:

bring the new civic.
just makes my generation 2 crx look better
old school honda is where its at :thumbsup:
looks ugly, some kind of cross between citroen or renault with a bit of daewoo lanos in it
Looks like Honda have really got excited with their recent success of Euro and Oddessy, and decided to slap on the front lights to a civic, it just doesn't do it for me. Any details as yet of the specs? Type R specs? I know i know it's very early days but worth asking...
Dan
wow, that seriously looks like a daewoo lanos.......
give me a 96-99 Civic anyday....

Another website stating tha civic will become available in a Coupe.
http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/Web...JxL.0@.ef337c8
Some public speculation on power outputs.
eeeehhh... no thnx
sheesh, that kinda looks like some other new-age hatch.
not doubting honda's choice but i reckon it'll be a good civic. lol
Oh man!!! what is hoda thinking!! I hate it. Disgrace to the word civic.
tot production of civic suppose to be in jap...thats a left hand drive car wor....
:thumbdwn: :thumbdwn: :thumbdwn:
This is how it looks like now... I'm sure more changes will be done aesthetically before the final roll out from the factory... besides, it's under disguise now :)
Love the cool triangular tail pipes though hehehehehheh..
that is sooo ugly! when is honda going to learn? surely these crappy models arent helping sales...
i gotta agree though, the ek was the last nice civic. but i will always love my gen 2 crx
They've gotta go back to what was successful IMO. Go back to the EG or EK shape. The Civic of today is too much like a ppl mover - like a Nimbus. Make them sleek, low to the ground and more sports orientated. I produce better looking things from out of my arse. :thumbdwn:
No0oo00oo0o0o00oo00oo0~!*~*!~**!*!**!*!*!***~!~*!* ~*
i'm starting to hate honda....wont make another CRX, stopping sales of type R's in aus, bringing 'acura' here, the continual grandma-isation of all the cars :(
how ya meant to kit an aftermarket exhaust on that without leaving 2 triangle holes in ya rear bar? (me thinks honda doesnt wanna see any aftermarket parts on these things)
:honda: = :thumbdwn:

maybe we should just observe their advancements.
at least that makes the rest of our hondas hold their value.... :wave:
lol okay - if you put that way hehe
it looks hardcore like a peugot 206.
It seems to me that honda is trying too hard to be a lexus at a cheaper price and sucking up to the European styling in the process.
I personaly think those lights were highly expected car companies tend to make their lineup of cars similar to each other in SOME respects so that they are readily identifiable with each other. See for example the Mazdas right now...they all have VERY similar tail and front lights
THe Euro lights were on the accord, MDX and Ody, so it probably might be on the civic...
Personally i dont hate it...much... as long as the thing comes out with DOHC VTEC, doesnt even have to be an R, just DOHC VTEC
Funny you should say that, Ive heard that Honda in general is trying to break away from the street racing / illegal culture, where as mitsubishi and other japanese car manufacturers are embracing it bringing out sporty, sleek new designs which target the young youth market enthuisest, meaning they rely on this demographic to generate sales now and in the years to come.Quote:

i dont need to say what we all do when we see a camery on the rd do i.
if i could id slap the guy that developed this styling and hopefully kncck some sense into him.....if you could'nt tell im not a fan
Yeah looks like a piece of poo if u ask me lol
sorry forgot to mention the wheels with the poo
Well - at least the EP owners won't have the dubious honour of having the "ugliest Civic ever" title when this fugly piece of crap hits the road :D
ummmmm i dont really see nissan embracing the sportiness thing? i mean sure they got the 350z, which rocks, but ntohing else? but since the new pulsar is due in like a few months maybe things will change
mitsu may be doing just that as they seem to be hell bent to mivec everything nowdays... mivec lancer is coming next year + a proper manual colt turbo i heard
sigh.... honda sucks atm, but i still reckon the civic could save the scene for hondas in australia if it had DOHC, 100kw + and a nice chassis... it would be something like the eg si/vti... which ppl embraced
but has neone actually conisdered with the demise of the B-Series engines (due to emission laws, etc etc) the reason honda has not brought out any sport models for the 7th gen civic in Australia and most of the world was cos of the lack of engines?
I mean besides from the K20 theres ntohing else... K24 is way too big. I do tend to think we might get a "below Type R" (ie: VTIR) civic again in australia if honda manages to produce an engine that doesnt compete with the Teggy Type S. Is there such a thing? K16A maybe|?
Isn't the K20 in the CTR a LEV motor? I would have thought it would be fine with emission.Quote:

honda needs to make another smaller K for the civic/uber jazz. otherwise its going to get trumped by the new lancers, colt, mazda 3, new pulsar (which i read has AUtech or something, basically VTEC for nissans)
i mean even if Honda wants to move away from the street scene, it still needs to have powerful cars. Even my mum, who has never ever got ONE single demerit point in her life, wants a powerful car, to the extent where she's would say (when comparing a Accord Euro with a Maxima) "but the maxima has more power"
not the greatest lookin civic around, i agree, once the EK left the shelves it started going downhill...
I personally agree that the car in the shot is ugly. As many have already stated, it looks more like the concept of a new Daewoo Lanos and not a Honda Civic. Whilst we everyone is dissing it, it is still in it's concept stage and alot of the cosmetics will be updated upon the showroom release. Maybe not quite eye candy at the moment but I don't think it'll be all that bad once it hits the showroom. Might take awhile to get used to by I think it's possible that it could grow on ya's! When the EK's first came out i thought they weren't the flavour of the month either but once it grows on ya, it's not that bad.
Anyways, quite ugly right now... wonder what it'll look like in the showroom?
yeh true that
WTF is wrong with honda these days...doesnt even look like a civic, looks like a dam citron...:thumbdwn:
is looks worst then the 7th gen
Honestly i don't know what honda is thinking any more. First they drop the type R. And then they bring out all this stupid looking cars. :thumbdwn: I guess they'll make up for it if they dont make enough sales.
UGLY POS! Booo :honda:!! :(
I agree the ep3 was the sexiest honda to date (except the shifter position!! :( ) but the ADM 4 door model is nearly just as ugly... looks like a miny bus!
Pics of what the type-r model will look like, apparently going to use a highly tuned version of the Accord Euro's 2.4.

you have to admit it does look pretty good, even for a computer gen photo... its better than the current shape.
yeh those photos look much nicer! that shot from behind looks damn sexy:thumbsup:
looks like it's also bigger then previous models.
cant beat the EK9....EP3 looks better too i reckon....:( sorry to say it
wtf is that.
Honda is gettn worst :p hahahaha! :D
reminds me of a puegot 206. dam ugly! they aiming at a more euro luxury market now????
man the honda range are just getting uglier and uglier...
They should try to copy Mazda.. Mazda styling rocks!!!
