I've been seeing LOTS of new Civics.

Maybe a dozen in the past two days.

I think it looks very cool, btw. Flame away.

I've seen a ton of them as well. It's certainly a huge improvement over the previous generation, which I always thought was just extremely dull.

No need to flame.

Lots on the road here too ... I really like the look of the coupe as well.

Re: I've been seeing LOTS of new Civics.

I'd prefer dull to the look of the new one. I can't describe how weird it looks, from the front...from the back...from the side...from behind the wheel. I can't comment on how it looks from the roof, because I haven't had the chance to stand on one yet

No flames intended...I just think its an awful looking car. Everyone has their opinions, though. FWIW, I've seen 2. One (an EX coupe, I believe a stick) tried racing the GP from a light to about 50 (in a 50 zone, so relax safety ***** )...he learned his car wasn't quite fast enough. He was furious, though

The new SI looks pretty damn good. 197 HP but only 139 Ft/lbs of torque Would make a goof efficient daily driver though for $21,000 or whatever it is now.

They took the best of Acura and totally f-ed it up on the Hondas imo. I can't stand the new Accord either. They're like Toyota imo: they go from bland to extremely ugly.
JMHO

Re: I've been seeing LOTS of new Civics.

It looks ok from a straight-on side profile, but there are also some not-too-flattering angles you can look at the car from as well....like this....

Re: I've been seeing LOTS of new Civics.

I love the new civics...As a matter of fact, I believe an EX coupe with Navi might be my next car...Damn good looking car, and it handles awesome, too.

And it also needs premium fuel as well. I think the exterior is a little too bloated looking on the coupe and front end is just weird looking. They def. went outlandish with the interior but at least its different and the offering of a nav system is kinda cool being its a compact car.

Haven't seen one around here. So can't really comment. Not suprising though (Midwest...).

Re: I've been seeing LOTS of new Civics.

Total rip off of the Ion, and with the smaller design, is even uglier. Coupe has a rake that makes the 4th gen look upright, but it looks very bland with very little body work. Ugly ugly ugly.

Re: I've been seeing LOTS of new Civics.

I have yet to see one.

I am basically indifferent to the car.... not crazy about the front end, but it is OK...

I like it better than Focus, less than Cobalt....

Yup, a new Civic hybrid with navi might be in my driveway before too long also. I'm really not that big of a fan of Honda or anything, but I can't think of a better ~$20K year around A-to-B car.
