Hopefully they upgrade the inside and get rid of that “BONER SHIFT” center console design.

I would even consider buying one of those. I looks like the USDM Accord in the front, the roofline, side window, but overall, I think it's better looking than the Accord. Very nicely executed.

Your right it does. Which isn't a good thing. Luckily the NA version won't look like that.

Makes sense. Honda apparently accidentally posted the pics on their European webpage and later took them down.

The pics certainly look like the Civic pics of a couple of months ago at the track in camo gear. Strictly Euro models.

Is it just me, or those the Civic Concept remind everyone of something that would be out of a Peugeot or Renault design book?
I say it's different from what the usual Honda design has been of late. I wonder how much the production design will tone down the concept.
Junkster, who thinks the next Civic has to be good

I really don't see Murano at all. Probably because of the orange color reminding us of the first pics of the Murano when it was new.
The headlights running across the front reminds me of some old Mercury models with the same design theme. The whole thing would light up at night.
I want to dislike it, but for some reason, I think it looks good.

. Considering TSX is marketed as the Honda Accord in Europe, I think this design direction is something Honda has been moving towards for a while now. The back is just hideous... but maybe thats the way Europeans like it

I felt that in 3rd & 5th gear my knuckles got uncomfortably close to the console and I’d probably hit them on occasion.
This has been mentioned in numerous professional reviews so I’m not the only one who doesn’t like the design.
And it looks horrible.

Spy Shots: 2006 Honda Civic Sedan - - by Brenda Priddy - - Source: The Car Connection
Sometimes it just doesn't pay to save space on your digital memory card for those vacation pictures when something big is passing you by. And that's exactly what happened during this spring break fling. These pictures, taken by college students on their way to their vacation destination, was obviously shot in the low-megapixel mode, but grainy or not, these are the very first pictures of the upcoming Honda Civic sedan.
There will be many differences between the sedan and coupe, but even so, one can easily see the similarities between the sedan shown here and the Civic Si concept shown in Chicago. Most noticeable is the sweeping roofline and A-pillar, which goes right into the hood for a dramatic look. The windshield, side-view mirror treatment, and front-side windows, as well as the rear fender creases and trim, all match closely with the Si concept as well.

I see a second hump in front of the driver - it seems to follow the European econobox mantra of puttting some stuff away from the traditional gauge cluster area.
Gotta see some more pics to get a better feel for it.
The thing is only about 3 months from production.

looks like a little Maxima. Honda needs the civic to be right this time. They need to steal some thunder back from the Corolla and the Mazda 3.
on the maxima assessment. I certainly hope Honda does this one right.

I really doubt the Corolla has a thunder. Its just better than the Civic and the better deals also help make it a better seller. The 3, definently has thunder.

It looks like the cabin was made bigger while the overall exterior size remains the same (notice how the A-pillar literally connects with the hood, as opposed to having the hood jut out from the cabin).
I just hope the link to College Hill Honda about the optional tires is correct, the wheels in these pic look so tiny compared to the body.
