OG Civic concept!!
 
I like where Honda is going with this and hopefully this will be a spark of much better cars to come. 2015 Integra... yes please! :thumbsup:

Love the CVCC inspired front end. I think it looks great.

wow...those are some really nice lines, the features really compliment the overall shape of the car. Im diggin it! especially the front bumper.

_F-R-S_ 01-18-2013 05:04 PM

Wtf this is ugly.. Honda will never get it right

dem00n 01-18-2013 05:08 PM

Title should be.

Honda redefines ugly

b2autodesigns 01-18-2013 05:09 PM

Interesting. I like it.

Asterisked Accolade 01-18-2013 05:12 PM

Why would this little thing be the harbinger of the Integra?

Also, for the record i don't like or dislike its styling. TBH i actually think the headlights are pretty interesting.

MmmHamSandwich 01-18-2013 05:26 PM

Damn, I would have liked to see it before it ran into the brick wall.

Flat Black VW 01-18-2013 05:30 PM

I think its absolutely hideous.

ZetaVI 01-18-2013 05:52 PM

This concept def has some personality to it. I do see a lot of potential.

UltraFRS 01-18-2013 06:06 PM

Not the best looking car, but I would much rather buy that than the current iteration of the civic.

Dimman 01-18-2013 06:18 PM

Waaaay better than the Fit.

TRD_86 01-18-2013 06:26 PM

Yes. good job honda ! let compete with prius C coupe. :)

mechaghost 01-18-2013 06:53 PM

Not digging the look..

just86 01-18-2013 07:10 PM

its suppose to be a smart car which makes it look like crap

bestwheelbase 01-18-2013 07:17 PM

Cool! Looks way better than the CR-Z. It is interesting but very clean and tidy. I would drive that car (if it was sporty and not an econo-turd).

OrbitalEllipses 01-18-2013 07:18 PM

:barf:

Subie 01-18-2013 07:22 PM

I think I threw-up a little

zenki_levin 01-18-2013 07:36 PM

I like the wheels.

wbradley 01-18-2013 07:46 PM

The back isn't much bigger than the Scion iQ. It goes back to the small original civic using some of its styling (grille and headlights) as well as the fuel sipping size. With fuel prices, there is a market for this in the world. Question is where does it fit in the North American line?

WingsofWar 01-18-2013 08:36 PM

these are some small changes to the body i think that would be good to be a bit more pleasing without changing the overall feel and structure of the original.

Uhhhh the fuck is that?

rice_classic 01-18-2013 08:48 PM

Not every great car has to look like a shark trying to eat a seal. I like it.

Unfortunately I doubt it will come with those brakes and wheels.

It takes a keen eye to see the potential in this concept and I understand why some folks may not like it. You kind of have to study it for a while to see what it's all about.

There are some styling cues that really draw my attention; the front end with the grille and headlight integration, the flush and flat roof, the big door panel that could indicate a very roomy interior, the kinks on the side fender/door and right below the tail light.

Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself but that would be cool to see Honda resurect some of the classic 90's cars.

quik1987 01-18-2013 10:17 PM

Can someone shop out the chrome piece on the grill?

Your question also applies to almost all current Honda models. I'm not a fan of them.

JoeBoxer 01-18-2013 11:16 PM

Kinda like this myself. The Honda urban sport crossover looks decent too until I saw 1.5 and cvt...

dorifuto 01-19-2013 01:11 AM

Crap. Total crap. Honda has lost it and I don't thing they are getting it back.

I completely agree w/ what you're saying. First glance, I liked it a bit but then once I started to analyze everything I saw things that were completely genius. So far, a good percentage I've shown this to are really loving it.

Shagaliscious 01-19-2013 06:05 AM

I really want to like it, but I just can't. That front end is beyond hideous.

Grishbok 01-19-2013 06:06 AM

It looks like a successor to the fit, or the sonic, or yaris, or any other Z segment cars. thoroughly unimpressive and uninspiring no matter how you cut it, but that generic look is exactly what they were going for in that segment. So, in regards to pulling off what they set out to do, they get an A+ but its nice to see ingenuity and boldness have taken a back seat yet again.

rice_classic 01-19-2013 03:40 PM

To me it doesn't matter what direction they go in regarding the power plant on one condition.

Figure out what the car is, and do it well. Don't replicate the disaster known as the CR-Z or Accord Crosstour.

If it's going to be a hypermiling econobox then great but do that well. Like a 1.3L Turbo Diesel with 150ft/lbs of tq and long gears and gets 60+mpg on the highway and 45+ around town. Or better yet, a turbo diesel hybrid.

If it's going to be a sporty car, actually make it sporty like a 1.5L turbo petrol, and a 0-60 under 8 seconds.

Please Honda... no more "in-between" BS like the CR-Z where it's terrible at being both a hybrid and a sporty car.
