I really like it. Inside looks really good. (Tiny wheels though)
Does anyone actually know the expected release date for this yet? Coz if its anytime soon I might just put my car hunting on hold and wait ;)
Looks so...european...kinda reminds me of a renault or something, theres one car out there that looks similar shape to that just cant put my finger down on it. Its OK I guess, wouldnt get one though.
I think Honda has gone down the path of "Vanilla Image". I.e. mitsubishi did it unsuccessfully with "the nose" and BMW with that look. Its sorta sucks, cos all the cars are starting to look more and more similiar. Some may argue this, but individuality amongst cars within a manufacturing brand is going.
IN MY OPINION: The 5-door is a bit ugly - looks like a Renault :thumbdwn:
I am in love with the 2006 Si Coupe Concept and got to thinking what the 5-door CTR might look like.. so I started to photochop a pic of the 5-door and took the Si's Bumper, wheelarches and grille and then added a few EP3 touches.. it not a very good 'chop shop job and it's incomplete (u can see the fender doesnt line with the bumper and i havnt done the rims etc) but it's a work in progress.. and just wanted to post it when I saw this thread..

my point being that I think the clear-plastic (Renault style) grill could be ditched for the Si version.. or any open-mouthed grille.. the front bumper is easy to imagine a new item (I used the Si Bumper) but what I'm trying to say is that I think just a new grille makes the car look MUCH more aggressive.. I havnt even lowered the car in the pic either.. dump it 2"..mmmm
are you thinkin the little Merc??? thats what pops to head side on... the lil... sl320 i think... not sure.. but its a lil kompressor.... bah :pQuote:

Glad I traded in my 02 Civic hatch for a Euro already - don't think this new one will do its value any good. Hmm. I wonder if they'll do any of these in a hybrid version, it'd be the perfect inner city car.
From TFA [Dutch is similar enough to German - I hope :)]. There's three engine types, first of all a diesel engine where the most powerful of which has got 140 horse power [around 105-110kw], 340Nm specs doing 6.4l per 100km - NICE! There's also a hybrid and a "Type R".
Wonder what will find its way over here. Also interesting is that the whole car is smaller than the previous, but the boot luggage space has gone up from 370 to 456 liter. Clever.
[Hm, now 1 post away from regular status...]
theres something wrong with it i just cant place... but over the current model its a damn good car....
with engines... isnt it confirmed already we'll get the new 1.8L Sohc i-Vtec for it? 110kw or something?
hm.... dun really like the shape... si version is much better
Anyone have any pic about my dream car? .......the 2006' 4 door Honda civic SiR:D
umm it has alfa romeo rear doors.
anyone got the final picture of civic sedans?
I dont know about the shape. Its a bit too daewoo lanos for my liking. interior is cool but I don't know how your average mum and dad driver will like it though.
funky. euro meets civic meets astra meets 307 haha
as if the interior going to look like that
Anyone notice the engine start button on the left hand side of the steering wheel.
the HUD-like speedo looks nice and the gauges as well. Thats a huge accelerator pedal...and how we gonna fit that aftermarket HeadUnit in...
the interior looks great, although my inital thoughts of the drivers side was that it looked like i was driving a bus :p
either way a nice design and something that will grown on everyone :)
holy shit that grill alone makes it look soo much better mate well done on the chop!Quote:

Yeah, the throttle looks big, but that's probably the same size as many other floor mounted pedals.
Very funky interior, but I don't expect to see some of these neat little touches on the base models at least.
looks wierd ! but eh' probably will grow on me sooner or later.
i love it, the current civics are the most boring cars ever, esp the gli man its a car i hate selling, id take a jazz vti over a civic gli anyday!
I love the new shape and cant wait to have on sitting in front of me in the showroom.
so unls1 wot engines are coming for the civic>?
The sedan looks very ordinary.Try the link below.

I saw it and its like wtf so i thought naa couldnt be, maybe it just looked like it hand gear stick but it was really an auto...And yea HU, gonna be alot of work just to get an after market HU into that and especially since the display is on the dash! If you were to replace the HU then what happens to that display? Gonna be a big massive empty black screen.. :thumbdwn:Quote:

hahha no one ever accepts the new as being better than the old...
so wot engine does it have? cos this has a extremely high chance of being my new car
I like it... excuse me for asking as did not have the patience to read the whole thread but this car has suicide doors like the RX8?
i like it if it is the final version...the interior is certainly different...i cant see that being the final version though..nice profile..like how peugot should have done their cars LOL
interior is ugly....
The hatch is horrendous, the coupe's were its at (even tho its still nothing special).

Look very closely at the lower back corners of the rear side windows.Quote:

I'm glad I'm not a Honda fanboi anymore. My next car will be any manufacturer other than Honda - probably a Nissan.
I'll keep my EF9 - it's a real Civic, as were its predecessors and the EG and EK - but these monstrosities are just plain fugly.
i think this confirms the civic's direction as being a overall bigger car... the EG/EK sized civics have been replaced by the jazz... unfortunately (no offence to jazz lovers btw) that car got no balls
i like the coupes rear. front is ugly. hatch i dont like at all. especially the weird interior.

THIS JUST IN - http://www.honda.co.uk/
sigh... no Si/VTIR/Type R as yet...
Is the latest civic type-R still made in UK?
the new civic hatch looks ... no good... no good at all..., i like the 88-94/95's... much nicer... much... they should stop trying for the future and concertrate the past... ok put my 2 cents in
dont really like the angles of it, about time they built some tough streeter's with some real power!
8.6 seconds 0-100 aint all abd... the ek4 and em1 both pulled only like 8.5 stock
does neone know if the new r18A engine is mounted logically (ie: headers in front) or pain in the ass-ly (ie: like k20A, headers out back)
being new i-VTEC design i'd say it's the 'pain-in-the-ass' option but arguably, it's actually a better configuration when you consider airflow, heat dissipation and also direction of intake and exhaust charge, not that THAT really matters.Quote:

Don't know if anyone realise this, but this hatch will not be arriving in Oz in the near future.
The first reason is that this hatch is design and built specifically for the European market, and as per Honda President Fukui's 2005 mid term speech re the Civic (copied below), Oz will only be getting the 4 door sedan.
•"The all-new Civic was developed with four body types to meet the unique requirements of each region. For the Japanese market, an emotional and stylish sedan which goes beyond the concept of the traditional Civic was developed. For the U.S. market, 2-door and 4-door types were developed, while a 4-door was also developed for Asia and 3-door and 5-door types were developed exclusively for Europe."
Copied from http://www.world.honda.com/news/2005/c050720_a.html
Second reason is that no Honda Oz automobile product is sourced from the UK, where the hatch will be build. It will take a lot of time before any sort of relation is established so Honda Oz can import cars from the UK factory.
Third reason is the exchange rate and price. By the time the car arrives in Oz, it will have to retail at close to 30K for the base model. Let's face it, not many people would pay 30K for a hatch, let alone a 1.8L one. And around the same price range there are other great cars like the Mazda3 SP23 and base Euro, which have much bigger engines. Honda imports the 4 door Civic Sedan
Don't get me wrong- I love this hatch. But the fact of life is that Honda Oz do not think the car will be selling in any great volumn to justify the importation. Honda Oz is strifing for volumn and market share, and only want big sellers like the Thai built (no duty) 4 door Civic sedans that they can sell bucket loads at 20K.
sigh... so do we get the "emotional" sedan or the "focked up boring" sedan?
this might sound liek a stupid repsonse, but i'll give up hondas foreva if the next civic is ghey

ahhahaa its a sad era for honda fans
i think it looks like a odessy front and lanos kinda back. wierd. not my type but it might grow on me.
man the sad era for civic fans started when they introduced the 7th generation civic's and negrected to give australia the K20 powered EP3 (hatchy) or even the mighty 1.7L D-series coupe.. even Thailand gets a K20 sedan and we get SOHC junk.Quote:

if HONDA only brings in the sedan I think a LOT of potential buyers will move to other marques.
