Thumbs down Does anyone else think the 2004 civc is ugly?

I'm not trying to trash talk the people who had to buy a 2004. I almost had to because I bought the last 2003 Civic in my Province within a mounth of when the 2004's came out.

The reason I post this tread is too talk about the horible redesign of the new Civic.

Personaly, I think it looks like a Toyota Camry, with some weird *** flares comming off the rear bumper. I like the taillights but even there its got some flaws. The front Bumper f**ks things up the worst though, it makse the car look like a little crappy compact car, it had such a nice solid look before and the civc looked like its own car....sometimes I dont even recognize them when I drive past them.


I heard a rumour from my car salesman that the re-design was done for the first time in the U.S. nothing wrong with that except I like japanese cars, I dont want a freekin Cavalier if I did I would have bought one.


I'm I crazy here?

It's been talked about before. It looks okay for a car, but doesn't seem like a civic anymore with the lights.

they look okay. I like the new grill a lot. The tailights are awesome. I like the design of the headlights more...but on the car the headlights do look like my mom's camry.

I dont like the wheels but I like the coupe. The wheels off mine would look better on it but they only made the six spoke alloys for a little while. It would look alot cooler if it came with a k20a2 like the malaysian ones do. they get 4 discs too!

yeah... i'm not digging the new front and back design as well. especially the back, it looks like the toyota corolla type s flares. as with the front... the honey comb grill is the only thing i like, and i don't care for the teeth on the bottom part of the grill. and the new alloy wheels are ugly, imo. i like the 01-03's better because they're rounded and are cleaner looking. the 04's look like a poorman's redesign of a small bodykit.

I believe the 01+ coupes were all designed here. It's a shame, looks like you're driving a Cavalier now.

I like the 04 headlights alot more then the stock 01-03 headlights and tails, I also think the 04 aero kit is a hell of alot nicer then 01-03 but I hate the way the 04's look without one, they look incomplete.

I like it. Except for...

I'm kinda pissed they got rid of the EBP color. So now I don't know if would want a new one.

I don't like the rear lip that much.

That's what I like about the 2004 Civic, there is something about the headlights that draws me to it.
