Other than the tails the 2dr focus and civic bear no resemblance to each other.

can anyone say.....corolla?
why cant honda come up with something original. first the 01's look like focuseseses, now the 04's look like that gay corolla.
hrm . I'm gonna say no. . I'll take some pics tomorrow with my car and a Focus side by side to show you they aren't really alike at all. . The taillights are the only thing close. . The Vic own3s the rest of the styling.

I saw a sedan in real life on top of a trailer on its way to Honda... They're super nice, I don't see why it looks so bad to you guys. I think it has a more up to date look. Our 01-03 headlights look too similar to the whole 96-00 Civic headlights. And the 01-03 2dr tail lights DO look similar to the Ford Focus lights. Its good that I have a sedan, nothing can compare to that...

I was curious to see what this would look like, so I went ahead and did it for you. I also put the 04 coupe lights on there for comparison.
IMO the new 04 tails aren't worth the money to upgrade.
As far as the focus lights, Ford was first with them. I seriously doubt Honda stole the idea, simply because I don't think Honda gives a $Ht about what Ford is doing with their small cars.
As far as them looking alike, they do. But it's in the overall shape. The most you can say is that they're very similar. The light patterns are completely different, as is the backup light. I like the civic's trunk overall, especially without the integrated 3rd brake light. I will tell you from personal experience that our trunk is much bigger and easier to access than the Focus. The rear seats are easier to get in and out of also.

same here. There are nice, but on a Rallye Red Civic they look tacky. The past oem tails were perfect for the Rallye Red because they were darker than the paint. These new tails are lighter and you can see the chrome through the red plastic. I saw them in person while I was getting an oil change. The new Rallye red civics don't looks so hot.

If honda WERE to model the civic after another car, they could do a whole lot worse than the Camry. Let's move on, shall we?!

all cars are designed years before they are released, I believe that the reason why Honda and Ford used the triangular tail lamps was to get a euro look. The Focus was released in Europe before it was in the States. The Civic is also a bit wider then the Focus. The interior of the Civic is way more ergonomic and less complicated then the Focus.
