Starting to look more and more like a mini-Accord coupe. I think that’s a good thing.

The current Civic coupe is an excellent design - in fact it’s Honda’s only nice design - and the mild refresh doesn’t ruin it, thankfully.

The Accord coupe is okay, nothing special, but in the cases of the Accord and the Civic both sedans look like hell. Honda engineers excellent vehicles and builds them well, but a blind retard could do better with exterior and interior design.

No one builds better small cars than Honda (at least not among the cars sold in America). They hit it out of the park with the styling of the Civic coupe. Doesn’t look cheap or trendy. I wish the Si was available with an auto tranny, though. The base engine is wimpy. The Scion TC feels a bit more powerful.

^^ are you F ucking serious?? Auto tranny??? your a F ucking pussy.

Bring on the CR-Z.

Now, now acura_el2000, we must be tolerant. After all, we are unfortunately the minority.

No one builds better small cars than Honda? Ever hear of a Mini Cooper or a Miata? Subaru builds solid cars too.

Sporty car…………..with FWD, wow! If people that actually like sporty cars, ignored the FWD and bought the (to few)competitors, then they (carmakers) may get the message. Sporty cars (coupes)must come with RWD. Its like a Ferrari with a 1.6 litre engine, plain stupid, as the people buying the FWD Coupe ****.(that goes for auto trans to).

What exactly are they “revealing” here? Looks like the same car to me. Maybe if they got rid of the playskool dash, then maybe it’d be a cool little coupe.

Where’s our hatch already, goddamn it!!!

So glad that Honda offers coupes and sedans. Unlike the Toyota Corolla that is 4-door only, the Civic gives us a choice between sexy 2-door and boring 4-door.

And speaking of which the Toyota Camry boring 4-door will no longer have a coupe companion, as the Solara is being discontinued, except the convertible. Guess that leaves the Altima Coupe and Accord Coupe head-to-head!

Ah… I can smell the rice cooking already. Soon the streets will be filled with a new batch of little Civics sporting huge wings and coffee-can exhausts.

taillights look the same to me?

Is it me or does this version look more like the previous-gen Civic than last years? It seems as if the design has gotten softer.

WOW! As uninspiring as the 2008, but with a minor facelift no one can see ‘cept the auto body guys.

I too don’t see any difference with the taillights, on either the coupe or the sedan. What’s the difference?!

I wonder what the Si OEM optional lip will look like??

Great, now it looks even more like a ball. A late ’80s Accord or CRX’s are still the only front drive Hondas I would consider owning one of.

“No one builds better small cars than Honda” AT THIS PRICE RANGE.

Sure, the MINI and Miata are great cars… but they cost THOUSANDS more… So why are you comparing them to the Civic?

Looks exactly the same. Grow a hairy beanbag Honda, design something cool for once.

DeansterTJ, google CR-Z.

mini Acura Civic CL

@123sub,
The 1947 Ferrari 125 S was equipped with a 1.5L V12. It was Ferrari’s first road car. Based on history, you = epic FAIL.

For the record, I think the refresh looks horrible.

OK, the CR-Z is nice, but are they bringing it to market? Unmolested without 15″ hubcaps?

I liked the Civic, but this refresh made it look worse. The wheels that they are putting on it (including the similar Accord wheels) ruin the look of the vehicle this Civic.

i actually prefer this civic variation styling:

to MAXCAR that kinda loooks lik a rebadged toyota corolla

Nothing to write home about!

JUSTINHK2000, I agree, it does look like a corolla quite a bit. i guess i just prefer the more chiseled lines and flat bar grill than the us spec.

Pretty much all of the cheap import coupes are gone. The Civic is really the last one standing. No coupe for Corolla, Sentra, Versa, Impreza, all gone. The Mitsubishi Eclipse has grown considerably in performance, size and price.

With that said, the Cobalt and Focus have seen this, and have come in. I think that’s a big reason why Ford decided to offer the Focus in coupe, instead of station wagon and hatchback (although all four options would be great). Problem is, automanufacturers complain about prices of creating variants, so most have narrowed it down to one. But everywhere else in the world, most vehicles come in as many different variants as a Rubics cube.

Maxcar- I like the looks too. I think you already know this, but that isn’t the Civic, it’s the City. It would be pretty neat if Honda brought the City to the states.

Heh, Beemerdude letting the side down man! Manual + BMW is how life should be.

“Sporty car…………..with FWD, wow! If people that actually like sporty cars, ignored the FWD and bought the (to few)competitors, then they (carmakers) may get the message. Sporty cars (coupes)must come with RWD. Its like a Ferrari with a 1.6 litre engine, plain stupid, as the people buying the FWD Coupe ****.(that goes for auto trans to).” Whoa man I agree with you there, but…

Sport + FWD, doesn’t make the best combo, and I know RWD cars are much better but not everyone can have RWD cars. Especially those that just have daily drivers or live in states/provinces that have winters.

There are pretty sporty cars out there that are FWD, like the Mini Cooper S, Caliber SRT-4, Mazdaspeed 3, Cobalt SS Turbocharged, in fact the new Cobalt SS/TC would run circles around cars like a new Mustang GT on an actual course… There are some sporty cars that can be FWD…. but I agree I’d rather have RWD too.

or if AWD is your thing then that’s good too.

Personally I can’t stand the Civic, just my opinion. I do however like the new Civic coupe that’s currently out. I’m not down with the interior but that’s ok. Also the next Honda Civic Si better have some balls, because currently as of right now it’s being left behind in the dust performance wise by the Mazdaspeed 3, Caliber SRT-4, & Cobalt SS/TC…

Oooooh they added to ugly clips, This “refresh” seems to fail, as the car looks older than the current one.

poor chpoice oif car

The Accord coupe is okay, nothing special

every1 builds better small cars than Honda (at least not among the cars sold in America).
The Mini Cooper is probably the vest car in the world.

the Altima Coupe is nice

I’d rather have RWD

Its exaclty the same ugly p.o.s. it alwasy was.

**** the new civic si front end and those stock rims looks worse than the ones from the 06-08 model! just like acura TL 2 they changed the front grill for what?!!that **** looks stupid 2! hope honda comes out with a better design!but anyways I will always like the civic si though.
