7th civic cooler than 8th civic
 
Anybody else like our 7th gen civics more than the new 8th gen civics coming out 2006?...I like the body and frame of my civic better than the new frame/body on 8th gen civics. I think our 7th gen civics , especially coupes, look more sporty than the new civics even the si.:eek:

orion_squall 11-13-2005 10:39 PM

No, not anymore.

I saw both EX sedan and coupe in real life, on the street.

They look higher class for both.

The rear of the 8th gen sedan is very nice and high class looking.

The 8th gen coupe is purely better looking.

Again, I am comparing stock, not modified 7gen with stock 8th gen.

Yeah a lot of people don't like the 8th gen. But I saw a coupe at the local Honda place, and it was REALLY nice. Stock vs stock I like 8th gen.

diskreet 11-13-2005 10:41 PM

nope.

7th gen civic > 8th gen civic for:
Value, user friendliness, clean refined unoffensive styline

8th gen civic > 7th gen civic for:
Economy, aggressiveness, innovation, features, performance, overall coolness, safety, quality

frankly the 8th gen looks more up to date the more I see of them. Sadly our 7th gens are getting old.
On top of that the 8th gen is just a nicer whole package.

Mike04Civic 11-13-2005 10:45 PM

yeah, Ive seen both the coupes and sedans in person,...and honstly, i wasnt impressed by either,....on tv/computer/whatever, the 8th gen coupe looks tight,..but after seeing it in person,...I'd stick to a slightly mod-ed 7th gen over a stock 8th....more hp or not,...

orion_squall 11-13-2005 10:46 PM

Up To Date

Oh yeah!

UP TO DATE is the word!

For me, usually better looking car means up to date, but that is just me. :)

For exemple, I would still find 2006 civic better looking than 1996 prelude, celica, ITR...something like that :)

8th gens look a lot better in person.. but that goes for any car.

DDragon7 11-13-2005 10:50 PM

I prefer 7th over 8th. 8th is too futuristic lookin imo.

StealthCivic 11-13-2005 10:50 PM

ok, i gotta check the new 2006 civics out in person, but pictures of em, man they look like other cars on the road , just didn't look as sporty...I will look at them in person.......

Yeah and I really love the new eclipse too. I would have one hell of a time deciding between a 4th gen eclipse and an 8th gen civic si.

I really didnt like them till I saw them at a dealership. They are pretty well proportioned. The front of the saloon is a little much at first, and the rear of the coupe too, but they grow on you. Yeah I said saloon. I watch alot of Top Gear. And I plan on moving to europe if I can get a decent job. So don't say anything.

Omg.. Dude I seen a white one at the dealership (coupe). It had a lip kit and rims.. It was insane. We both looked at each others cars. It was funny.

must have looked awesome. The guy driving the one I saw was middle aged and was next to me at a light. He saw me looking at his civic and looked at mine. He gave me a big thumbs up pointing to the dash. (I have converted all lights to blue, and have a DVD player which comes up all blue w/ white text when playing cds.)
Was a nice car and a nice guy. He got a :tup: right back at him and a smile.

SimonTek 11-13-2005 11:09 PM

What the hell are the lil lights on the bumper for? Both, UK and Germany have them.

diskreet 11-13-2005 11:11 PM

If I am not mistaken, which there is a 90% chance im wrong, they have something to do with the backup lights.

SimonTek 11-13-2005 11:15 PM

Ebay, said they were rear fog lights. I came across this 2 secs ago, was looking for something else, and saw it.

kasimmmmm 11-13-2005 11:16 PM

the 8th gens look like ass... they look like they're designed for women. But thats just an opinion. I think my 7th gen looks so much more aggressive. Plus, by the end of the year i'm dropping a k20a which will eat the 8th gen si. New civics are really over-rated.

es2k2 11-13-2005 11:20 PM

if the 8th gen has the HID option, i would be all over it....

AntiLoop 11-13-2005 11:23 PM

I think the the 8th gen is a HUGE improvement over 7th...

Don't forget most of us hated the 7th gen when it came out...

Give it time.. the 8th gen is enhanced in almost every aspect IMO.

i agree. the elcipse looks a little bit better than the 8th gen, I think.

EW! Heck no! The new Eclipses look nasty. :tdown:

jfan 11-13-2005 11:48 PM

7th generation still looks better to me...

dp_yz713 11-13-2005 11:50 PM

the eclipse looks better than previous gens, i find. kinda pricy though. i went to a mitsu dealer the other day and jsut the base one with 4 cyl 2.0L 5 speed they want $24, and for the sports package with a v6, 6 speed i think, was $31, but still rather 7th gen vics over all

kasimmmmm 11-13-2005 11:54 PM

I think its styled more for the older generation

What a rip. :tdown: 7th gens rule by far because we all own one. :rockon:

dp_yz713 11-14-2005 12:07 AM

yah i know. i was looking for my gf cuz she needs a car and she likes them but once she told me the sales guy said that, i said hell no!! but yah i always agreed with the 7th gen looking the best!:tup:

hotdogpilot 11-14-2005 12:27 AM

this was a bitch for people who bought their 2005's mid-year...like me, only to realize their cars will only be "brand new" for a few more months. i love my car anyway.

Agree :tup: except for the aggressiveness and overall coolness...

kasimmmmm 11-14-2005 01:19 AM

8th gens look wussy.

_Viper_ 11-14-2005 09:55 AM

I have to agree with diskreet he has some great points on alot of his posts.....

this is what will happen with the 8th gen...

8th gen front bumper looks similar to 01 -03 front bumper..

in 2008-2009 they will add a nicer front bumper with hot fog lamps just like they did for 04-05- civic..
Honda is fuvcking with us once again..

the sedan front is ugly period......

Tragedy 11-14-2005 10:12 AM

The 7th gen civic is the real last civic. The new civic has new headlights, new lug nuts (5 of them), new body, and tails, hell new car completely. The thing is butt ugly imo. The 7th gen will always have the real civic look.
