The rear would look okay were it not for the tail light that protrudes into the trunk.
Interior is a HUGE improvement! I have been impressed with Honda interiors in the past 2-3 years. Couldn't even believe I was in a new Fit the other day.
its not Honda Accord that its vents need to be below the eye sight navigation. most people who trying to save last bit of money on fuel economic will care less about navigation in this class.
the point is Honda Accord fuel efficiency has improved enough that there is practically zero reason to buy upper trim Honda Civic with 1.5T engine. small turbo engine usually cannot get the efficiency under loads and acceleration and they are highly unreliable long term. Long term in Honda and Toyota terms atleast 300k miles. I think Honda is unsure about reliablity and practical fuel economic of 1.5T thats why they keep 2.0 engine in the line up. 160bhp is plenty for this class of car.

The LX570 is also one of three select Toyota products that goes through a third round of backbreaking reliability development tests, the other two being the Land Cruiser and the LX 470. Believe me: It's a tank.

This 2.8 TDI SUV weighs as much as GX460 V8 and producing as much bhp as 1.7 Hyundai diesel. so whats the point in putting this big 4 cylinder engine?. The answer is clear. never squeezed power from smaller engine and not compromise on weight of engine. Thats how Toyota built its SUV brand reputation that is untouchable. Look at whole Middleast and Toyota SUVs every where at the highest prices.

I like how the new Civic looks, even though I think the fastback look is a bit overplayed nowadays. I think the Hinda part of Honda is firing on all cylinders style wise lately. They just need to fix Acura external designs and I'll be happy.
I have seen the new accord beak in person. Honestly, i know it is there but it does not really stand out. Unlike the ones in Acura, that you can't move your eyes off those beak.
Aerodynamic efficiency is improved by 12 percent to class-leading levels, in part through the use of full underbody covers—a Civic first.
Compared to the current model, the 2016 Civic Sedan is nearly 2 inches wider and 1 inch lower with a 1.2-inch longer wheelbase, featuring a more compact and sporty front overhang, a longer, more aggressively sculpted hood and fastback-style tail.
honestly it does not really matter if the Civic looks like the crosstour... With that interior and the feature list.... it is a winner... it has more stuff than ILX.... not just more.. BETTER stuff.

At this point, no manual transmission is offered with the turbocharged engine, though Honda will sell you a six-speed with the 2.0-liter.
And someone doesn't know the definition of "identical"

Hmm...6MT is coming in the future for the 1.5T. Resources are now allocated to launch the coupe, hatchback, si, and Type R.
But wow 0-60mph in 6.8s in a car with only 174hp, nearly 3000lb, and with CVT while rated for 32/42mpg is pretty impressive. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's another car in this class (minus those performance trims like GTI) that can do 0-60mph in less than 7 seconds?
Yah except i can almost guarantee that you and 99% of the people out there will not get less than 7 secs from 0-60 on the street in a Civic.
So it does not really matter. like the #s above indicated, it is more like a mid 7 or low 8 sec car to 60.
lol true.
But then the other cars that get 0-60mph in 7.5s or whatever, will probably be like 9 seconds car then......
It's just relative...the Civic seems to be relatively faster than the competition by a good margin.....I think the only one that comes close is the VW Golf, but that's only with 6MT?
