I like it.

I also find it interesting how people always bag on honda for making such boring mainstream looking cars. But when they make something edgy, people bag on them for not making it boring and mainstream.

I think they're "bagging" on it for looking edgy and ugly...

Personally, however, I like the car's looks--they just scream that the car would be fun to drive

The Europeans seem to love that concept, I think. Honda took a different route for this new Civic; each continent gets their own, unique Civic line! The current Civic Si is the Euro Civic, but a lot of Americans hate it, so Honda gave us a Si that's a coupe. The Europeans loved the Civic Si hatch, so they decided to keep the shape. As for the interior, its CGI, so its probably going to change. Brazil gets an ethanol powered Civic. And Japan is sedan-only, I think.
You're right that Americans hated the Si, but that's because it was designed as a TypeR for Europe which looks nice and it's got good power, but when they brought it state side they made is crap. Hence no Americans liked the watered-down version... Honda is such a tease, why make TypeR and not sell it in the biggest market in the world???

126 MPH, can it even go that quick?

No way that is a production car.
that's Km/h and it's 78mph, I'm sure it'll be a euro exclusive, just like the civic 4 door hatch

^insurance is one reason. I'm willing to bet that the insurance lobbies pretty much told honda that they wouldn't insure another type-R. Every company who insured an ITR lost on the deal.

This version has dual exhausts, alloy wheels, and a 7K redline. since this is NOT the Si, i have a feeling the cool stuff will be deleted.

That is a 4 door. Looks like an Aztec SUV.


When did honda hire Saturn to design cars for them?
