what do u guys think of it. here in australia, i reckon its alright, kinda reminds me of the 206 peurgot ?

here downunder we didnt get the 7th gen 2 door hatch, only the 4 door and 4 door sedan, so this change will be alright,

and how would the type r version look

OMG I'm never going to buy a Honda Civic newer than 2000 now.

:wtf:

Ugly as hell, luckly I am sticking with the Tiburon, or as it will be known as by 2006 the HCD-8. Look it up here!-http://www.ottawahyundai.com/oh04/news/news05.html

You are exactly right. But staring at it for a few minutes, I'm a little mixed though on either it's good or bad. It looks really neat up front but the back end treatment is just horrible. The tsx like headlights are a very nice touch but come on honda, give us something better. Hopefully, if the crx is coming back, it won't be treated this way at all or honda will def. lose my interest later in the years.

But here's another thing, hopefully they'll come with performace this time so getting one with a K20A2 in it would be sweet for stock.

I was reading up on it and there is speculation that there will be a Type R released along with the new body style. This may just make it worth it. Considering whatever body mods they add to it make it look better than that thing up there.

i hope i don't offfend anyone when i say this, but for some reason i see a little bit of daewoo in the profile, i think it was called the lanos in the US. if thats the new civic, hopefully Honda won't make the mistake of trying to sell here in america, b/c people just aren't gonna buy it

you hit it on the head. That FUGLY ASS Daewoo hatchback. What a piece of shit, and this is coming from a Korean lol.

I am truly hoping that honda is considering putting the type-r civic in production for us. And your right cause it would be worth the wait. Also honda has moved the 4 years model update to 5 so what ever we'll get, we'll have to deal with it for 5 yrs. And is that a 4 door hatchback? If so, then hopefully the 2-door hatchback and coupe will look much better or I'm not gettting one in the future at all. It almost makes the 05 civic si hatchback look like god compared to that thing.

the one in the pic doesn't look like it has a second set of doors, but the article says you can expect a 5-door version soooooo.......

i agree with you all that is one ugly looking maybe civic

Sure that's not a Saturn Ion?

looks like the front of a chrysler sebring

the more i look at it.. the more it kinda grows on me but..i gotta see final production to judge it. but from the pictures...ehhhh i dunno.

I'd have to agree with the notes below where it says "That's obviously not a Civic" a few times.

I think the people over at the civic design department have been hitting the pipe a little too much or they were procrastinating and when the time came to design the car they just threw a bunch of parts together and they got lucky?

It's not that bad from the aerodynamics stand point it looks pretty good. Atleast it's not like the new VW Jetta as a MKIII Jetta owner those cars look like bloated heavier versions of the 4dr Ford Focus. I don't think it looks too bad.

More info on the 06' Vic

Several weeks ago we provided a summary of some of the things we had heard to that point with respect to the '06 Civic. Recently we've heard a few more things regarding the Si model in particular and we thought we'd once again summarize what we've heard:

The Si will definitely be a coupe The body is said to be low and wide and quite sporty in appearance, borrowing some styling cues from several current Honda and Acura models, particularly the flared wheel wells with circular arches. The A-pillar has a dramatic sweep, very similar to the rake shown in the spyshots of the European Civic (http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=301576) that were published earlier. The projector headlight housings are said to be shaped like the TSX's Track-tuned suspension sits as much as 1" lower than stock, wheel well gaps are said to be minimal. The Si will use 17" wheels with 205 or 215mm width tires. The transmission will be a standard 6MT The engine is said to be i-VTEC, with at least 200hp. Supposedly the possibility exists that it will get 210 hp or more The seats will be quite sporty with fairly aggressive bolstering A Navi system is rumored to be an option Si will launch slightly later than regular coupe and sedan models, late in Q4 of 2005.
With these developments, there are whispers floating about that the RSX's days could be numbered.

Now I'm dreaming of that over the 99-00 si. The 6mt sounds so sweet. Look-out SI, here I come. That car, if said right, will pack a serious punch in the competition. :)

I ammmmmmmmmmmmm thinking about trading mine in and saying screw the k20A swap that I saved for. Trading my Vic in will be cheaper then the swap which is hard to believe but true.

A friend of mine contemplated swapping in a K20 about a year ago. With the amount of money he spent in show prepping his car on top of throwing in the K20 was close to the same price as buying an STi, this is including the cost of the Civic, so guess what he did lol. Parted out everything on his Civic, and traded it for an STi. He's much happier now.

sounds like Honda is trying to weed out their line up and is sorta becoming Japan's Cadillac. First they drop the CL and then if the RSX goes, all they'll have is 3 sedans, 1 SUV, and 1 supercar/exotic (how do you classify the NSX?)

NSX I classify it as $hit we'll never get to own lol.

haha, well I can think of better cars with a near 100k price tag.

That thing's uglier than shit, but at least Honda is finally putting some balls under the hood.

I guess in the future, we'll be seeing less astounding looks, but more performance which is badly needed.

Hey guys, if you read in the december issue of motortrend, there is a concept picture of the si. What da think?

http://motortrend.com/future/spied/112_0412_future0201_l.jpg

looks like a mix between a neon and a lamborgini

drawings always look weird. You gotta see them in in person is decide. but as for the pictures. All the concepts lean towards that focus euro hatch look. Hopefully it isn't too heavy.

Are they going to do a sedan?

eeewwwwwwwwwwww

U-g-l-y.

I don't see what's so ugly about it. I'd take that over the current hatchback si anyday.

don't like it at all, i'll stick with my 2004 civic thanx
