I find it hard to believe Honda would do such a drastic change. Look at how the 5th gen progressed to 6th then 7th. The overall body style remained pretty close, no major changes. This 8thgen doesn't look like it came from Honda at all. Unless somebody posts up that Honda fired its entire design team after the 7thgen rolled out, then I refuse to believe it. Partly because if this comes out as a Honda, I will cry.

Well I see an old Toyota Paseo, a 3dr Kompressor and a KIA got together and made a mutant of some kind...yuck.
The hatch is so popular overseas though...they have like 10 different models over there. I go the CIvic brochure from a colleague in the UK..it's a damn book.
Ya, I asked like 2 or 3 times for someone to link the image like I did below here...thanks bitches!
AMG hooked me up.

The Si/SiR will come to North America as a coupe. I'm not sure about the Overseas version though. I'm worried that if they don't unify everything we'll see the aftermarket struggle with it

remember the article a while back??? it looks just like it. obviously this is disguised to death so the true looks of the car remains disclosed until further release date. that pic is a SPY picture, don't kill urself if they look ugly cuz spy pics are always ugly as ****. granted that it's ugly (hope not), i know 97% of yall didn't like the 7th gen civic when it came out but yall bought it anyways. it's relatively quick to place judgements on new changes but it takes time to getting used to it and appreciate it. i personally have to see one in person to judge a car.

im not reading the whole thread, but that is ugly as sin. i hope thats not for the US market. there seems to be a redeeming quality i guess, the rear shots show dual tailpipes. could that mean a k20 in there?? or at least a more powerful D-motor?? who knows.

Usually Hondas have cleaner lines. So I'm guessing they will make a good looking civic. The past few gens have had nice shapes. 7th gen has an amazing shape, its the best looking ecno car out there. The shape is one the main reasons I went for a 7th gen instead of a 6th gen.

If I were involved with someone like Honda, the FIRST thing I would be doing is scoping out websites like this to see what people think, what they like, what they dislike, and what they would expect from the next generation. For instance, you would see the trend of larger four cylinder engines like the 2.0 liter. NO, the civic gets some terrible 1.7. Also, one of the big players in the market today is the all wheel drive turbo field. Can you imagine the popularity of a Honda if it were to put out a turbo? Hell, we even have a freakin turbo NEON!! A NEON!! But hey, that's just me.......what the hell do I know about running a car company? 
I am not sure how but they know how to run their company, again in 2004 Accord is the 2nd most sold Sedan and civic is the 5th...And this is only North America...
I am sure they read somewhere that people want slow economical cars

You got it. Europe gets a Type R and it costs 16 000 pounds. More than $32,000 USD. Why would you buy a civic for 30 grand when we have a lot of other great cars at that price. 30k hatchback is a little much.

well, i wouldnt buy a hatch in the first place (with the rsx-s and celica gts as an exception) so im going to wait and see what the coupe looks like. That is a hatch version so the coupe may look way different. Look at it now, the Si and the coupe look waayy different, and that could be the case here... at least i hope

Man it looks like ***. It makes the Mazda 3 (or a Focus if Ford gets off their *** and releases the 2nd gen in the US) look better and better if I decide to buy a new car. It looks like a Citroen badge belongs on it.




uke: i'll just keep my 7th gen and swap it thanks
