Not confirmed, but probable.  Sorry, can't find a pic on the net.  This could be cool as an "Si".

As much as I really don't like the look of the Civic already, I have little doubt I'll find it downright hideous.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

I'm looking at the (unfinialized) pic right now.  The front is ugly, just as the current Civic front is.  The side profile look ok however.  Kind of like a Volvo convert(I forget the name), Saab 9-3, and VW Cabrio meshed into one.  Not hideous, but not attractive either.

I predict a huge hit with teenage/college girls, a fair number of whom probably would have chosen (notice that I didn't say bought) another Civic version anyway.

Are you suggesting that teenage girls who drive overpriced Hondas don't pay for them themselves?

They don't, but surely the college aged ones driving Lexus RX330s and BMW 325s do, right?

Holy shit a convert. Civic would be ugly.  :banghead:

I have the rendering of what it looks like in front of me (latest SCC mag), it's jacked up like a 4x4!
Looks like a Peugot actually.

Can you perhaps scan it in? :wave:

Would if I could, but I don't have a scanner.

Here's the best I could do with a camera though:

Speed_Racer

Ohh yuck! It really can get uglier...who woulda thunk.

And I totally agree with the comments about teenage girls. Of course they don't buy them. Why should they when Daddy is willing to foot the bill?

thewizard16

That is quite possibly the ugliest small convertible I've ever seen.

That's what I was afraid it would possibly look like...a crabby VW Sciorro or whatever that's called...or something...

It looks like crabs. Full stop.

My god, that Civic front end wouldn't look out of place on a minivan.

Well, it's good to see Honda is devoted to making hideous vehicles. I like a company with direction.

That's fantastic!

If you need a smilie to tell that that's sarcastic, you need help.

In any case, that looks like it's based on the Euro market Civic hatch.

Ya know, I don't find the hard top to be too atrocious of a vehicle.  This, on the other hand...

It enven makes the metro convertible look good.

According to Wizard it doesn't look like a minivan, it looks like a Lamborghini.
