Honda always seem to have completely different designs for their Civic saloons, coupes and hatchs, a bit like the Accord and Accord coupe.

There was an IMA powered Civic saloon in this shape at the dealers I was in on Wednesday.
It's partly due to the fact that the RoW prefers saloons to hatchbacks for snobbish reasons.

Also, they like big cars big; except the Japanese.

Thus, the Civic comes in its normal form, and americanised version and the EU version, which is, if you will, a Concerto replacement.

The Accord is far more confusing; The Accord we know is the Accord Euro in jp., there and the Acura TSX in the US, who have their own (just announced!) Accord and Accord Coupe (we also used to get that & the Aerodeck) which is known as the Inspire in jp and RoW. There is an Accord in Japan that is very like our own, but more oriental, too.

It's quite simple compaerd to Toyota. Quantum theroists have been known to shout "Oh FFS!" & go buy a bike instead.

Nah, the streets are all covered in jizz-monkeys & slime-whores.

It's much safer inside.

'Twas a great series.

Preferred Ben Chaplin; he was definitely a weirder Matthew than Neil S2ooK.
