look at the spacing of the lugs, you can't fit 2 lugs in that "unseen space"

It looks ok... but yeah, I don't like those rims either, or the fact that sedans have sidemirros on the windows. I hope they fold inwards though. I see the influence of a Prius. I heard Honda might go full hybrid also. That means better gas-mileage becuase it will/can run on electric only.

hmmm... 5 lug!

using the same parts for all the civics means cheaper cost. so they will all be 5 lug..

i hope this is just the concept verson otherwise it will be one ugly car... whydont they ust put the hybrid motor into a regular 4 door civic instead of modifying the crap out of it

i am going to say that it will be 4 lug like the current hybrid. that picture looks believable, but i still have my doubts.
how would it put extra stress on the engine/drivetrain? lugs help evenout the torque pressure the wheel puts on the hub, but the hub is independent to the number of lugs. And i really doubt the weight of 1 more lug is going to slow the car down anymore.

It's 5 lug people, get over it

Its 5, done and done

This is a perfect example of a 4 lug pattern. PERFECT!!!

Come on, if i added one more circle filling in the last area, it would make a star... Therefore, it is a 5.

i guess some people have sentimental ties with their 4 lugs and are sad to see them go , maybe its their ungodly plethora of choices for rims
