New 2005 Civic Sedan

Anyone seen pictures of the new 2005 civic seden?

Why did they take away front silver grill and the side silver lining...

I thought the 2004 model looked dammed nice with all that silver...

your thoughts??

And does anyone know whats improved in this 2005 from the 2004 model?

I think the car stayed the same with the addition of a special edition model that has a double din mp3 player deck and different wheels. Not much until next gen.

i dont think the new 2005's are anything special in means of performance, they just look better.

Smootie, where are you from? It may be possible the Smootie is not from the US and they have different grilles.

its not ralleye red, tango red is the new color for sedans. and there is no difference between the 04 and 05 except for the new color and the SE trim like Gearbox said.

Nah, the 05 civic is a carry-over from 04. However, I read in the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper, that the civic is scheduled for the next generation in 06!! Seems kind of soon to be making a new one already, but the 01-03 civics are the same, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I wonder what they're up to? I have an 04 civic, and I love the way it looks, so if they're improving on the design, how sweet will it be?

CivicsRdBest is a glorious beacon of light

The Civic looks classier there because it's not the bottom of the line model... That chrome looks nice and it looks like its direct competition for cars like the Jetta and stuff...

The new look is good too.

Fear the wrath of the "ASEAN civic"

I also believe that there is a 1.5L civic out/or to be released in Asia. It's got an L15A engine instead of the D17A. Here's the main thing:
the VTEC produces 108hp@5800 and 105 lb-ft@4800
+ it has something something to do with the bore about 2mm or so.
I bet it does wonders on ur fuel economy
