its essentially the same car, didn't seem to hurt sales either. I sat in one and it wasn't that bad. It's also amazing that the civic went for almost 6 years

I like the front end of the new European Civic. The previous one looked too much like a spaceship:

On the other hand, I really liked the fresh modern looks. For a while, cars had looked too much like each other. The new Civic was... different. Now all hatchbacks, like my friend's new Volvo V40, try to imitate that fresh and youthful look with sharp edges etc.

I just wish Honda would get back into the sportier cars again. Like the Prelude, S2000, civic SI and the acura counterparts. Atleast they brought back the integra (ILX).

I agree, though the new one didn't really look that far apart from the old one though.

This kind of looks like an elongated Fit.


And to that article about honda admitting it messed up the 12 with the announcement of the 13, I don't buy that. A lot of people that worked at the dealer claimed "they didn't know that the new 2013 civic was being re-designed until it landed off the truck." I was like they announced it in the newspaper.
