... because it was really the 328 coupe! I saw a silver today from the back and the first thing I thought was, this Civic coupe looked a bit different and nicer than usual... then of course I quickly realized that it really was the 328 coupe! Ouch... (to BMW)

Although from the rear, the Civic looks really good.

Yes it does, the front needs the JDM headlights.

If anything, the rear of the E92 resembles that of the new Saab 9-5's.

I think the person meant the Civic sedan. However, thinking a BMW badge looks like an H is just plain cuckoo.

I still get the older E46's mixed for older civics from a distance, esp. if modded.

Crazy Sellout, thank you! I did mean the older Civic coupe, not the current one...

You know, I was just driving and so I kept my eyes on the road mostly, so I just squinted and saw this 328 coupe without noticing the BMW badge. My point was, at first glance, the Beemer really looked generic and similar to the older Civic coupe. I just wished that the BMW coupe would use the sedan's tail light design which looked more distinctive to me...

meh, im still not a fan of the e90 tailights.

Also looking like the civic isnt a bad thing. That fawker sold well and looks good too.

I wouldnt call the RS4 bland looking either.

heh. you're right on that one. that being said, BMW makes great cars and they're so much fun to drive. 3 series or accord? come now, guys. that's an easy answer.

"OHOHH! but what about the S2K?!?! that totally beats BMW!!!!"

yes, yes, everyone knows...

i like the 3 series coupe's tailights a lot better than the sedan's.

i just like that design. same with the a4/q7, mdx/rdx. looks simple and clean.

Saw the new coupes for the first time the other day at the BMW dealership.

Had a black 335 with red interior = sex on wheels (or at least a BJ)

V8 Vantage = threesome on wheels (the good kind)

I'm guessing he saw a civic with an "M" badge in the rear or a "type r" bimmer. heh
