Honda: Euro-Spec Civic news **Mugen Version Info and Pics (page 7)**
 

Honda Civic concept

While we’re still at least a year away from seeing an all-new Civic on our shores, Honda gave us a good look at what me might expect come 2006. The five-door design is wider and lower than the previous hatchback, and looks about a thousand times better, especially with its matching grille and taillight assemblies. The most exciting part: According to Honda President and CEO Takeo Fukui, this concept “is very close to the final styling.”

I don't why the Euro version would be that far behind the US intro of this fall. :confused:

dom 03-02-2005 07:40 AM

That rear end :doh:

Neech 03-02-2005 07:48 AM

The front end is progressive and I like it. The rear end.... no... reminds me of the Pontiac Aztek. Not good.

MADCAT 03-02-2005 08:41 AM

I'd buy, mod it up real good, and whoop all the supercars candy asses! :thumbsup:

It looks like a CRX and a Peugeot got combined in a freak teleporter accident.

CGTSX2004 03-02-2005 08:46 AM

:agree:

Trying too hard to bring back the look of the CRX, but doing it poorly.

The front does look good, though all that glass would be a bitch if it cracked. :D

Moog-Type-S 03-02-2005 11:28 AM

It's not the greatest, but I give Honda alot of credit for giving the civic a more on the edge style. Honda Vanilla style looks to be on the way out.

Shawn S 03-02-2005 11:54 AM

WOW…..
That’s FUGGIN UGLY !!!

But I guess I’m too old to be the “target audience” that they think will buy one.

LOL ... I was wondering the same thing.

LessisBestmakingendsmeet 03-02-2005 05:11 PM

Just buy a supercar. No one cares but you and the kids that have Paul Walker posters on their wall in their room care about any Civic.

That is one ugly car, sorry.

Trance_Tsx 03-02-2005 08:10 PM

i think the headlight across the rear and front is so backward and not forward thinking imo almost older saturnish.

might be the next civic hatch for america too...

phile 03-02-2005 08:29 PM

Taillights are hideous. I'm reminded of http://www.startrek.com/imageuploads...02/320x240.jpg

cusdaddy 03-02-2005 09:05 PM

Ugh!

supraken 03-02-2005 10:04 PM

Is it just me or is Honda over-doing it with the edgy styling......and the big flat body/door panels.... :shakehead

those headlight and taillight makes it look like a 2006 Honda's version of the Subaru SVX........

Overall shape is nice though... just don't like the detail and curves

chungkopi 03-02-2005 11:28 PM

i hate current civic with a passion, but i like this one. :thumbsup:

MemRheins 03-02-2005 11:35 PM

ew... Im not a fan

1killercls 03-03-2005 04:47 AM

:hurl:

biker 03-03-2005 08:51 AM

It looked OK in real life. What's not obvious in any of those shots is that the show car is RHD!

JeffS 03-03-2005 01:55 PM

Hmmm, not so much. The back end looks like the child of a Pacer and the RDX concept. Love the rims though!!

heyitsme 03-04-2005 07:40 PM

Can't say it looks good, looks like honda tried to shrink an suv down into a compact but ended up with an egg shaped hatch. I liked the direction they were heading with this concept.

Motohip 03-04-2005 10:09 PM

I like it. Looks kinda like a toy version of the Murano. :D

The front is so Acura and so is the tailpipes. I wouldn't be suprised if this comes to the US as some sort of RSX replacement.

WE NEED THE INTEGRA BACK!!!

maybe it looks better if your eyes are shape like mine (- -)

It's FUGLY... The huge slotted brakes will never make it to prod...

aaronnn 03-06-2005 11:58 PM

what is that thing?!?!?!??!

Speed_Racer 03-07-2005 12:33 AM

Damn, first people complain that Honda stylists are too bland now you complain when they try to go a different direction. I'll be a minority here and say I like it. It's only the concept. who knows how different the production version will be. The rear taillights alone look like a cover that comes off so I'm sure the production version will be more tame.

It looks like a shuttlecraft. :D

Kinda funky but I like it.

youngTL 07-18-2005 11:36 AM

:rofl:

Are those 2004 Accord taillights?

As far as the Si having 200hp, above the 3's 160hp, I don't think that will be long lasting with the mps 3 on the corner will all sorts of power options available from ford/volvo/&mazda.

We need to see what that 200hp costs though ... The RSX Type-S is about $4k more than a Mz3s if you equip them the same. I don't see how anyone would buy a $24k Civic Si.

heyitsme 07-22-2005 10:06 PM

Think we overlooked the Edmunds video on the civic during testing which gives a new perspective against the pics. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=106351

heyitsme 07-22-2005 10:12 PM

Why bother with a disguise though, we've seen it.

1killercls 07-23-2005 06:51 AM

I like the coupe...but that hatch is ugly.

Loseit 07-23-2005 08:06 AM

i think it looks cool ! :dunno:

heyitsme 07-23-2005 08:56 PM

I hated it at first, but in another color I don't think it would be bad. I guess those rear doors are suicide?

I am really beginning to like this more and more I see it. That dash will probably be the same as the NA one...ours might be different with a nav obviously. I really like the interior. It looks like a spaceship or something and really futuristic. I think it might look better with a gray bottom part tho so theres not miles of black plastic, but oh well.

Oh and nice exhaust pipes too :toocool:
