I actually like the new look....very last year Accord-esque. I guess they were tired of people mistaking Civics from a long ways away as Ford Focuses (the triangular headlights....).

Back on topic....
The Civic looks quite nice. The refresh only improved it's looks IMO. The only thing wrong with the coupe is how long the trunk lid is. It looks somewhat out of proportion w/out a spoiler, at least to my eye.

I have to say, I really, 100 percent like the new Civic. BMW isn't really that great in my book. If they had lower prices and better reliability, then I'd give them the thumbs up! The new 7-series and 5 are just kinda fugly. I think BMW's style is getin' kinda old too. Look at a 1990 BMW and compare that to today, not too much difference in style.

Life's to short to bitch about who's car is better. The bottom line is that we are all very fortunate to be able to drive anything. Most of the world's population will never even have the opportunity to drive a car yet alone own one.
A friend of mine recently saved enough money to buy his first car. He's not much of a car guy but he enjoys driving. Do you know what he bought? A Saturn Ion! Now I would never buy that car for myself but he couldn't be happier with it. And I fully support that decision and think it's great that he's so happy. Who am I to say that he'd enjoy something else more?
Back on topic, I really like the new Civic! I think the front looks great. Subtle change but noticeably different.

I never notice a Civic. Who would?Well only the ones that sound louder than they are faster and the neon lights, and stickers and APC stuff etc etc...
I know a few guys that have done the RIGHT thing with Civics, adding Volk wheels, quality mods, engine swaps, etc the cars are incredible.
But unfortunately, the rice-boysz with $5 in their pocket go the Pep boys and screw it up.
This might be the first I have even seen about a Civic that is not a Type-R.

Come on, that's the purpose of the design behind almost all Hondas and Acuras. These cars weren't made to stand out, they were made to blend in. Besides the NSX, I can't think of one Honda design that attracted crowds. Honda excels at not offending the viewers.
Now, on the other hand, the rice boyz comment is right on the money. Just the other day, I was driving my brother's Eclipse GS (not GT mind you) with just minor tweeks of exhaust and intake, and this civic rolls up and it's pretty riced out. This Eminem clone looks at me and starts revin'!!! My Eclipse has no body work, no lips and spoiler, nor any lowering, so I think the guy thought he could take me... but then he learned that adding a "sound" muffler, adding plastic everywhere and lowering the car does nothing for speed. Idiot peeled out but didn't even come close.
God, Denver has too many 2FAST kids.
Junkster, who lost a little respect for Gilbo in this thread.

just as long as you keep in mind that ther are a lot of cleanly modded civics i can give you at least 100 that i know in my area and 1000+ anywhere else, we are a rare breed and i don't complain really because the ricers make us look better by making themselves look so retarded.
oh and honda also still sales a lot of cars because god forbid there are people out there that buy cars for mpg and up keep
my roomate went from a truck with a fully build engine to a civic because of the positives about it towards him
lets turn this thread back on topic and post the positives and negatives about it ok ....
truthfully i see nothing wrong with them and i would own one if i wasn't getting a tsx
i think that the new civic is perfect for a college student like me that has to drive 300 or so miles a week back and forth because for 300 miles i can spend 10 bucks on gas
40 bucks a month on gas is not bad at all when you have to pay off student loans

I am not saying nothing bad about the Civic. I think it's a good car. It brings many customers to Honda. Without the Civic, a lot of these aftermarket goodies would not be available. The Civic is a solid car (though I prefer the previous 2 generations looks to the new one). 2 thumbs up for the Civic. Maybe my message came out wrong.
But the new Civic lost a lot of respect from enthusiests for losing it's previous suspension set up for the new one for the sake of saving money.
