Default New Civic

http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2...onda-civic.html



However, this is supposed to be based off a current UK edition, which doesn't look too bad.



The new model is supposed to be smaller than the current Civic. I'm glad for this as the Civic line is getting too big. Hopefully, it'll be available in clean-diesel like its European couterpart

Read somewhere that Honda is nixing it's diesel research and focusing on electronic cars.

Profile looks like that cheap ass Mercedes C hatch/abomonation.

Honda will add about another 4 feet of NOSE on that and then wonder why they are sitting on the lots.

Did you see the refresh for Accord Sedan and Coupe? WTF...

Why do companies keep making cars with such a large distance between the top of the rear wheel well and the roof? It is freaking hideous! Just make it a station wagon.

Any links?

Generally I like the refresh better within each generation of the Accord. As I need to replace the Civic soon, I was hoping this time would be no different. I won't hold my breath.

Hope it doesn't have a swing beam rear axle like the Euro one...

Interior space - they're putting the passenger seats over the wheels.

This one shown is gonna be a 5-door hatch. It's probably to maximize cargo space and headroom

Toyota has sent several letters to Honda requesting their Prius back.
