I like the looks of the 06 to an extent, but that short *** hood and small rear end I dont like. Whole car is just too small compared to the 7th gen. The dash I think everyone has to admit is kickass, and just with the options available in an "economy car" nobody can touch, I mean nav, 190hp (or whatever in the Si), etc. They do add up in price though, now that a loaded coupe can reach over $20k, thats pushing it a bit.
I just bought my 05 a month ago, with the new 06's on the lot. Nobody would even begin to negotiate on the 06 and probably wont for a while yet. Had a great deal on the 05 so I bought that instead. To me the 05 EX SE Coupe is very luxiourious for a civic, Im very pleased with it. I like the agressiveness of the 04-05 front clip too, looks very wide and has a great stance

Rep Power: 0 ok all my bros - I went to the honda dealer here , checked out a new 06 coupe, and even sat in it...here goes...........I like the 7th gen civic better....now I know I went in person...the 8th gen is like a acura, it seems to be more like a luxury car, just not as sporty, looks a little more like a girls car kinda...i just like the 7th coupe I have (the body/frame) more still...what I might have to do, is do a swap with my 7th coupe I love, what can I swap in to get power of Si in my coupe I love and is paid off, yes paid off. So, I gotta stick with my civic. What about an engine swap??
