Keep in mind that interior shot is likely from the base trim. Looks like the car is going to look exactly like the patent drawings. Can't say I'm a fan of it right now as the front fender portion looks kinda off and it's side profile looks something along the lines of an integra with it's long sloping roof connecting to the trunk kind of thing

[yray]

that interior... looks so toyota

those patent drawings looks like a ZDX
hard to believe that's a civic, it's pretty much an Accord to me

Best new EF/ED/EG on the market is the Fiesta ST. Its the car Honda should have been smart enough to build if they weren't too busy chasing the "point A to B transportation" market.

Hondas announcement of going back to making fun exciting cars is great, we will see if they can live up to that in the next few years. Making the Type R and Civic a world platform is a good start.

Good point about the FiST. Unfortunately, I can't get over its overly busy interior design. Something like this was already perfect:

Why do we need so much complexity and overwrought designs? Why mess with perfection in simplicity when we already had it?

I know you're comparing this Civic and Accord, but just as a reference, the Corolla we have now is actually bigger than Camry from the past.

I'm impressed with entry level cars because not only are they becoming more visually appealing but they're coming with tons of options which you would never imagine you would see available on cars under $20k.

And on the topic of great entry level cars, my mom just got a new Corolla and it has tons of options including xenon headlamps, not bad for a car that cost $15k.

I'm coming from the other side. I've know how much better aftermarket parts are and fraction of the cost of what a similar stock part would be from the dealership. It's pathetic how little they really give you for such a high price.

Take a $500 aftermarket navigation for example, they come with Android/Car play, much higher quality screen and material, more radio stations to pick from, etc.

Meanwhile dealerships will charge you 1,500 to 5,000 for a navagation and not come even close to any of those features, on top of that they charge for navigation updates which should be free.

which means you are better off getting stock and doing the upgrades yourself in almost any car

[mos_skeeto]

I did that and highly recommend it but some cars look kinda fugly with aftermarket decks. The ones with the round bubble dashes especially. I also noticed that more cars integrate car functionality in their screens which will cause problems.

Unlike the Accord Crosstour, the Civic here actually has some nice, clean, and taut lines, so it doesn't look anywhere nearly as dopey as the stupid Crosstour. But the Crosstour actually has a functional hatch, whereas this Civic monstrosity has the rear window line of a fastback / hatch, but it doesn't actually have a hatch lifegate!!! WTF?! All it's got is a tiny trunk opening.

I'm fine with Honda giving it a rear hatch window line, but at least make it a fxxking hatch liftgate!!! Otherwise, it should have stayed as a sedan.

[TypeRNammer]

Looks very evolutionary!

I think Honda did a great job on the new Civic, it's gonna stir up a lot of discussion whether it looks ugly or beautiful.

[Limitless]

From those pictures it almost looks like the Crosstour looks better than the Civic, and the Crosstour is ugly as shit imo

[Liquid_o2]

Yah I'm not sure at the moment. Front looks similar to the Mazda 3, rear definitely has elements of a Crosstour. Don't like the rims at all. But it does have a really nice side profile and I love the taillights. I'll stick with my '14 Si Sedan for now.

[tofu1413]

that roof line is very gran coupe......

hmm.. some mods and some lowering.... will go a long way

Mazda 3 still looks sporty but could use a refresh






But until then I'll wait until the official reveal of the Civic to make any final judgements

[Traum]

The thing that bugs me with the Corolla is, after all these years, it is still using essentially the same engine. Whereas with Honda and Mazda at least, they have developed completely new engines for their current cars.

That's what I don't understand -- how can anyone still think it is a good buy in this day and age, and be willing to pay so much for it? The competitors are charging roughly the same amount for their cars, and those cars are running on current technology. FailFish

Love the new interior.. they finally got rid of the 2-teir gauges.

Teh Best Civic

[Liquid_o2]

Yah I really like the back side of the new Civic. I wonder how large of a trunk opening it has due to the "fastback" style design. Front end is forgettable and looks like any other Acura over the last few years.

Also looks like they tried to cram a lot of the stuff from the previous 2-tier gauges into 1-tier, which makes the central gauge look really busy. Very clean around the HVAC controls and navigation screen, but the area around the shifter looks super cheap.

Have to see it in person really to get a feel for it.

^^ Have fun putting your suitcases in it. With a rear roof / window line like that, the opening should really be a full size hatch.

[Akinari]

Pretty lame that the turbo models only come with a CVT. Imagine the possibilities if Honda decided to stick in a version of the TLX's DCT standard as the only transmission for the turbo model

[Dragon-88]

The thing that bugs me with the Corolla is, after all these years, it is still using essentially the same engine. Whereas with Honda and Mazda at least, they have developed completely new engines for their current cars.

That's cause the majority of Corolla owners are basic people. They just need an A-B car. The years of reliability the Corolla has, is a no brainer for someone who wants a car that will last. Hell I beat on my Corolla every day.. To this day its still solid. Nothing major was replaced and with the FSB and RSB it handles great. You might've seen mine at the VCMC AutoX(Took first place for novice in 2012). I dont see why Toyota would change the engine. Its great and does well. What they need to change is the damn crappy plastic interior. Then again its a Corolla there's always something to complain about. If it isn't the car its the driver.

[asian_XL]

Had a chance to drive the Honda Jade (a 6 seat Civic wagon) in Hong Kong with 1.5L Turbo 150hp. You will be disappointed, don't expect "OMG. 1.5L Honda engine with a Vtec turbo! teh fastar". I don't think the extra 25hp in the US model will be much different.

Anyway, had 6 people in the car, the performance is only adequate, even on straight road, the engine and CVT pull to above 4000rpm to accelerate. The whole setup is meant to be a fuel saving rather high rev ricer like the EK.

[DragonChi]

5 people is like 500 lbs of extra weight.

We have a Honda Freed here (Honda Fit 7 seats version). Always have 6 people in the car, so I know the difference between no turbo and 1 turbo

Rumours suggest 2017 Q1, but I wouldn't trust the rumours too much until I start seeing production cars out at the dealership.

Hondas really tight lipped on release dates but expect it spring 2017.

On a side note We got our first Ridgeline yesterday and it looks bad ass. It has a In bed audio system!

[european]

Still waiting for Type R...

[Traum]

You know, with the upcoming Civic Si rumoured to have a detuned K20C1, I'm thinking the Si might be a smarter buy compared to the Type R. With modern turbos, an ECU tune would go a very long way, and that might bring the engine outputs close to what the stock Type R is capable of.

Another thing is, the Si is going to look a lot more understated than the CTR, and that's probably a good thing unless you are keen on attracting the cop's attention.

But at the end of the day, the Civic is a midsize car now. Do midsize sporty FWD cars have much of a market?

[604STIG]

It's definitely an improvement from the previous Ridgeline, but they need to make the front look waaaay more rugged. It looks like it's trying to be a car up front, i think because of those headlights. Remind me of something off the TL.

[donjalapeno]

^ its aiming to be a "urban" city truck. It has a mixed personality of rugged and luxury. It's definitely not really meant for construction/heavy duties. It's meant for families that prefer a truck over a suv which I think is the case with most families especially in the west coast.

I see families driving huge ram 2500s and struggling to take the kids out of the truck and putting the groceries in the bed etc. This Ridgeline fits the lifestyle of those people. It's a really practical and fuel efficient truck. It's in a class of its own.

I've been looking at the Honda Fit as a replacement for my Golf. From what I'm seeing it's better spaced for passengers and has more cargo capacity despite being smaller on the outside :lawl:

Definitely waiting for the release of the upcoming Si. Have been waiting for this upcoming Si ever since they announced the new LX/EX/Touring Civics and after reading all the reviews and driving one. If the new non-Si Civics drive so well, the Si's can only be better.

Wow, $57k.... That's a lot of money to dump on a city truck. I think it'll be tough sell against the american trucks when you can get a very decent truck at that price.

[donjalapeno]

it starts at 35k. The black edition is basically the touring model with black accents/rims and black leather with red stitching. My dealership is only getting 17 units this year and 9 are already sold. I don't they think they will be a tough sell what so ever.
