I found some great photos of the 06 civic.

Does anyone think this is the best looking model ever?

Cool 06 Civic

I think the new civic looks good ....but on my personal opinion I do not think it's the best model ever. I guess I'm still used to the older models like the 92-95's and the 97's and such....seems like after 00 the just started to get fat and bubble up lol....they still look good but i just like the slimmer models.
But I just thought of something....was your question about the looks of the car or about the whole model, like performance and stuff? Cuz i haven't looked into it's specs and such.

I think its the best looking model ever, thats for sure.
We will surely find out if the performance lives up to previous models.

I dont think you can go wrong though since Honda pretty much improve their engines every year, even if the specs stay relatively the same.

Nice pic blueangel.
The rear actually looks good. The rear end was always the part I least liked on the civic, but now its on par with other honda's.

Its a shame they are starting to make all the Honda's look very similar now though.

That's REALLY awesome. It's a really sleek, sexy design and it looks great. This design will definitely attract more buyers, in my opinion.

Its starting to look too much like an Accord these days. The Civic is getting bigger, its not the small hatch it used to be.

Yeah, maybe so, but they make up for it with coolness.

I'm going to check into getting an 06 sometime in the near future. They're starting to look like my kind of car.

You keep saying you're going to get one.
I think we will all celebrate when you actually post here that you got one!

hehe leave the guy alone, the cars aren't cheap!

It will take him some time to save and Im sure he wants to hear people's reviews and experiences with the car before shelling out the cash.

TomH,

You are right. It does have a nice behind! I really am giddy about the look of these cars. I am hoping to get one in the future.

Thats what everyone says
Then by the time they have the cash to buy, they end up getting something else.

Yep, these are all pretty cars. Mine is getting painted right now, but maybe when it's done I 'll post some pics. (If they did a good job). I'm hoping that it turns out half as pretty as these.
