^ You need to see it in Poisson in order to really decide if you like the looks or snot.

I thought Rope was talking about fish.

Since I took Engineering in college, I did chuckle when I read his statement.

I do see the resemblance. Where the previous Civic Coupe looked bland, the new one looks a bit disheveled.

Couldn't help but comment on this. The new coupe is okay IMO, but it kind of has a bit of toyota/lexus in its front end.

I do think the 12 and 13 coupes were quite nice looking. Loved the headlights

Also, I think I figured out why I don't like the new look: the '14 Civic Coupe does not seem comfortable in its own skin. Civics are supposed to be well-built, workaday cars that tote you from place to place with confidence. Their silky engines and transmissions are known for delivering fun in responsible doses.

Civics are purposeful, not skittish; measured, not impulsive - and the new facelift seems to lose sight of that with its patchwork of dissonant, attention-seeking design cues. Maybe I am being a little harsh, but the 2013 Civic's low-key looks were a plus when I was shopping around for a new daily commuter. I hope this new direction is a blip!
