Just like the Crosstour, that's not a hatchback, that's a liftback.

I've got nothing. Hopefully the look grows on me over time, but right now I would not buy it on looks alone. Center exit exhaust is gimmicky.

When it isn't a rear or mid engine car it definitely is.

Saw a lime green 2dr at the auto show months back and it looked great in person. These pictures look awful though.

Yes, the pictures are awful the more I look at them. Gray walls and matte gray paint? Honestly, the marketing people at Acura/Honda should honestly be fired and forced to work at McDonalds flipping burgers. They just plain suck.

I'm an accountant and I think I could do a better job with marketing for Honda. Their TV ads are ridiculous too. The pokeman, anime crap with cars flying around doing loops, etc. It's just so childish and stupid. Do they even have a social media presence at all?

I hated the look of the new Corvette but I think it looks decent now. This car will take way longer to grow on me. Serious hate for the back end.

Yes, this is the platform the Type R will be based on, but I'm sure it will have different bumpers/lights/wheels and look significantly different. Whether thats a good thing or not remains to be seen.

Unlike those other body styles, the Civic Hatchback gets just one engine option, but it’s the good one: the 1.5-liter turbo four putting out 174 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque; that gets bumped to 180 HP in the Sport and an all-new Sport Touring trim.

It can also be had with Honda’s CVT, which as far as CVTs go is not that terrible, but why do that to yourself when the other option is a six-speed manual? I’m gonna tell you right now to buy that one instead.

how about the curb weight? how about a 2 door? How about sticking the same engine into the Fit? how about taking all that tech and sticking it somewhere dark?
And why, oh why do we care about pedestrian safety and those tall front hoods? is it me or have IQ's dropped sharply?
