The Truth about Cars has a front spy shot of the refreshed Civic here: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/201...-big-in-japan/
I feel sorry for the company that Honda has become. Soichiro Honda must be rolling in his grave. On the other hand, enthusiasts make up less 1% of the market because all the other 99% care about is looks/status and reliability. It's too bad that double-wishbones, ergonomics, and quality materials have been sacrificed for girth, flat-out ugly styling (at least Hondas in the 80s/90s have aged gracefully), and gimmicky interiors.

I'm in japan right now and I was really surprised to have seen only 2 civics so far in 10 days.
There are so many better Hondas here though.
Seen 3 euro r's so far.
Honda oddessy's here are SICK, and about the same size as the stream.  
DB8r? Honda integra 4door type-r

Actually very rare to see any of those "real" cars here.
The one's I've seen were always parked while I was on the train so I haven't been able to get a picture.
