Looks like Honda appropriated some of the aesthetics of the current Peugeot 206 there - particularly the horizontal angle apex and the rear contours. Unfortunately, I was a fan of the more linear early to mid 90s 306. Thumbs down for visuals - and power too if this is supposed to be the AUDM Type R equivilent. I wonder if Honda release concept design and performance specifications for public criticism prior to release - IMHO this model would suggest that they don't.
I like the look. I probably prefer the brilliant simplicity of the EG, but this might grow on me. If they actually imported them, I'd consider it as my next car.
Surprised so many people don't like the look. I think it looks fantastic! Here is the diesel version on the optional 18" Honda rims - saw this in Croatia yesterday.
its just a little too much plastic on it. kinda looks like a cheese burger LOL.. all that glass/plastic in the centre all the way round... which bit is the pickle :P
That car makes the current crop of small cars obsolete, in 10 years time when you kids can afford one you'll be praising how good they are!
IMHO this is the best looking civic honda has everdone. The EP was dull as dishwater, the EG although a favourite of mine was hopelessly tinny. This new civic breaks the mould, its bold and daring, probably the main reasons why Honda Australia isn;t importing it, not because its to expensive, its because people in general here are clueless when it comes to style. hehe!
