Looks like a vast improvement over the last one but dear god why did they fuck up the front end like that.

Not loving the big chrome unibrow, and the tail lamps could be a little cleaner, but I like the overall shape.

[Payman]

What a fucking mess.

[Eye of the Tiger]

What did it leak? Blinker fluid?

[CJ]

Yikes.

It looks nice, but it looks really, really big.




Like, Honda should introduce the Grace/City as a Fit sedan because this car is so big




Also, it looks like it's now a hatchback?

[MX793]

I thought it might be a liftback, but looking at the trunk lines, it's definitely got a traditional trunk.  Similar to the new Mustang.

[2o6]

Seriously, this thing looks TSX large.

[Cookie Monster]

Yeah it looks giant. The entire front end looks fugly as shit too. Damn pedestrian regs.

I was thinking Maxima... which is equally atrocious.

[Xer0]

The wheel to body ratio looks off, especially in the rear.

I wonder if we can just kill it with fire? Maybe then they will revert to 1988 when Civics actually looked relatively good.

I like the front end and the proportions of the front, I think it's generally good looking. It just looks so damn big

I'm really surprised you guys hate it; most of the Internet loves it. It's got elements I like, and I think it beats the brakes off the current car.

I like the fastback roofline. I like the...
That's about it. The details are hideous.

... and nobody's surprised you like it.

I like it more than the current car but that grille kills it for me and the front end looks odd.

I didn't say I liked it that much....




You guys loved the coupe concept and I thought that looked like ass

Don't you love ass though?

I think it looks decent. Hard to judge size IMHO, but I assume it will be slightly larger than the previous gen (like most cars). I would be surprised if it is a huge step up in size.

Just read there's a Fit sedan coming, so the Civic grew to accommodate it in the lineup. Saw a pic of the Fit sedan... much nicer looking than this Civic.

Really? I think the Honda City (fit sedan) looks really mediocre. Looks like a current Civic with stumpy proportions

Will we get powertrain information next week?  I'm really interested in seeing what the Si variant looks like.

[GoCougs]

Looks big to be a Civic.

My car is the same size inside as my old Accords. These are the new midsizers.

Problem with the design is too much metal to wheel. Shoulderline is too high, and wheelwells are too small, which is exacerbated by its short length. It just looks bad. Current Civic looks awesome by comparison.

Mid 90s (and earlier) Accords were technically compacts by EPA size standards.  They didn't become midsize until the 6th generation in '98.

It's alright.  Wheels look small.

[Raza]

That grille is fucking awful. But other than that, I kind of like it.

They were pretty narrow. 4 seaters (though I did comfortably fit 5 on a road trip). 98 had a lot more leg room too. But my Civic's back seat is comfy for 2 average size adults.
