Looks ok, but the overall opinion on civics is that they are the Corsa/Nova/Saxo/Fiesta of the US - cheap and tacky and then driven like F1 cars by the less fortunate among the population.

Will it have SH-AWD though? I hear the S2000 and new Legend will feature it, making them formidable AWD cars.

looks like a Peugeot 307 cab, but more agressive.. or am I mistaken?

that's pretty damn nice.

Nice... a Type R version is needed though.

I resent that statement. I own a 1970 Chevy Nova and when its completed, I can personally gurantee that you will change that statement. Even the SS models packed a decent punchwith a 396. two door family car was the insurance specs you would have received with a 396? Please...

isnt this just the concept...the pics in the other topic showed a car with no door handels...

Looks awesome, wish i could afford one.

heh... you can say whatever you want but it's still better than the american crap that supposedly are from the same category

Honda makes cars for the unfortunate population? The unfortunate population drives early 80s Civics if they're lucky. The rest drive beat Ford pickups and vans.

I don't get the big deal of people not liking 'rice.' Its a car with a smaller engine that is a rocket if built right. You may not like them, but you should respect them when they fly by you with ease.

Damn, those brakes are hot.

cant wait to trade in my current honda civic for this one

is everyone refering to this car?

its a concept?..no door handels?

i saw it in real in the occasion of the F1 Grand Prix in Montreal this weekend and Honda is one of the partnership..

It's pretty nice indeed, but i wouldn't buy it.

I currently have a 2003 Honda Civic Type R but the 2007 Type R model version of the new Civic could well be my next car either that or an Integra Type R.

i'll probably end up seeing it tonight at the Formula 1 GP street event, but i think the design is horrible, though i would like to see it without the black hood or the tinted lights in the front. I guess it has some potential. Also looks like a squished accord from the side. Though i do like the mags

Way to curvy, smooth, and streamlined. Not defined enough. Like a smooth lump of clay before the potter makes it into something. Also, too Z350-ish.

Damn that's hot, tho is just a concept

they dont make integras anymore, that's what the RSX is.

umm yes they do, they just released the 2005 Integra in Japan and it can be imported to the UK

What is an RSX ?

one new spec Integra Type R -> http://www.bajaria.com/chirag/integra/

The Integra is to the RSX as the Prelude is to the S2000. They phased out both production lines to move on.

That new makeover for the Integra a few years back was renamed to the RSX in North America. I dont see how the S2000 is the sucessor to the Prelude

Never been a fan of civic's, but 06 looks real sexy. I like it alot!

looks gorgeous, nice find

Ah, but they said that 90% of what is shown on the concept will be what is on the car when it comes out...

Sorry guys but that looks nothing like the new civic.. the new one is quite fugly..

uhhh... these are concept pics from a while ago man. we cant vote without seeing what the production version will be like.

its probably gonna have tiny ass rotors, a weaker motor, different lighting, and more subtle body design.

too bad they dont have any hatchback model i was looking at changing my 93 Civic Hatchback but the dealer said they didnt make them anymore

Looks like they mutilated an Audi A4
Actually, it looks like they combined parts of a Focus, early Toyota Echo, A4, with 2001-2 Mustang headlights with tint.

That's the european version Believe me, I've been watching this for a while now.

Civic's are all hatchback or rather they are in the UK and Japan.

The UK and Japan will get the best model - the Type R version.

A RSX is an Integra, just renamed. Over in Japan an Integra as a Honda still has the Integra badge.
Also the Prelude was replaced by the Element not the s2000.
Wrong price range.
Honda sells cars in particular price ranges for a certain group of people that would purchase a car.

the DC5 IT-R VS DC5 RSX-S is not the same. The engine is different already. Not to mention the suspension and etc. It may look the same, but you gotta look at the little details.

Yes there are different engines and upgraded suspension but still the same structure of a car.
We call Civics the same here in the US as the counterparts in Japan, but have the same differences as the RSX and Integra as who gets what engine and what upgrades.

It’s still the same car structurally for the most part.

Looks like the new eclipse from the side. Never been a honda fan though.

For one, it's a concept so you'll never see it like that, ever! Two, everyone and their brother will own one so count me out on owning one. I prefer my cars semi-rare and much more expensive.

i don't like the spoiler, it seems rather unnecessary. otherwise, overall not bad.

Is it me or do the sides look chopped? It looked really smooth until the door.

hmm looks like a mini-me version of the accord sport coupe

i personally think the best Honda Civic was the CRX between 1984 - 1987.

But one in perfect, unmodified condition now is like gold dust

How are you going to open them there doors? I like it, but it looks like just a concept, we will have to see what the production version will look like...

I like that design more than the current SI body style.. its secci looking now put a type -r engine in there and its all the more likely to draw more attention

I think a 200HP DOHC i-VTEC engine is good enough Not to mention it's a 6-speed...

It resembles an Acura RSX Type S. Probably has close the same engine as well. I like it.

i kinda like it... back reminds me of an audi, front lights look ok... overall i kinda like it.
