yeah i don't get the all-new part. aside from a few minor changes, it's essentially the same interior design.

yea it's kind of sad to see one of hondas most important vehicles just barely get an update (visually)
I owned an 06 and this interior is basically a stretched and molded version of my 06!

WTF? I've never really disliked the two-tiered or "cyclops" dash of the Civic, but the update has no cohesiveness whatsoever. It's like someone thought "lulz, lets push the top tier back another foot"
I'd hate to think of what the 2011 Civic was supposed to look like, if it make Takanobu Ito go "yeck" and he approved of this

The sizzle in the Steak
Perhaps Honda got smart.......
All the current "new" designs from them have been
....the new civic was heading down that road too......so they put a stop to it.......didn't want to deep six the bread and butter Honda.......so they "tweaked" the existing civic instead of a complete redesign.
Sure it's not new and exciting.....but at least it's not gonna ugly up the place like the last few new Honda vehicles.

More of an evolution than a revolution, not sure what the pushed-back R&D'ing was about. certainly wasn't for the exterior, that's for sure.

Seems very similar.............

Definitely did not do enough to change it. More evolution than revolution. Wish Honda and Acura would do more to change styles and their vehicles between generations.

Uh.... why does it look very similar to an Insight?

and we've already seen a glimpse of the interior, which is hardly changed at all.

Hoping it looks better in other colors, but I dunno. It has more of that tall "tippy" look. My first thought was Sentra....which IMO is ugly.
Overall, meh. It's not disgusting, but it's not pretty, either.
I can't believe it's still going to have that weird crooked interior. I really hate that look.

90% sure that those wheels are just placeholder wheel covers. edit: urgh, what ^he said
The interior looks quite different from the 8G Civic. That "crooked interior" isn't for looks.... it's for ergonomics (I hope). Personally I'm a fan of the driver-centric interiors that were so prevalent in the 90's and just plain died off in the 00's. Most people drive with just themselves in the car, and most of the time regardless of how many people are in the car, the driver is going to be controlling the HVAC, radio, etc. so it only makes sense to have everything oriented towards the driver

...and to think they went back to the drawing board for this 
Honda has a new ugly duckling to compliment the already lineup!
It's now almost embarrassing to own and drive a Honda/Acura vehicle.

Wow, that was disappointing. I don't know if that Corolla/insight abortion is the Civic, but that shouldn't be it. Honestly, I expect shit design from Korea, not Honda.

So what exactly was so substantially changed that they had to delay this car. Seems like they scrapped their larger Civic plans and revamped the existing platform?
