looks great to me. No matter what the civic is going to sell. I am sure the real production car will be a little tones down but hopefully not too much becuase i really like this car.

I loved my 8th gen Si coupe. To me this looks better. I think if they take a little weight off and stiffen up the chassis it would be an amazing car.

Looks a bit like an Acura RSX. 220 hp sounds about right. Kind've wish they would have a MS3 challenger but that is unrealistic.

I wouldn't mind if it had a lot more tq and better fuel efficiency. More tq combined with same or lower weight as claimed and you have a nice car to dd.

Yup, that's a Civic.

Looks good, mild improvement of the current car, which I always thought was quite attractive.

Can't blame them for staying true to what the car is. There will be an Si for better performance. Granted, we probably won't get blown off our feet by that either, but but in the meantime I would argue that the basic Civic needs to stay where it is.

The car looks alright, but I think the current model civic looks decent to begin with. If they could shave a few lbs (like say 50 or more), that would certainly help. It'll be interesting to see if they can eek slightly better mileage out of the same powerplant.

I fully expect the base engine to stay at 1.8L (any more will just sacrifice mileage), and I don't think larger is good/necessary in the compact car segment (except for the Si model of course). Hopefully they throw a few more standard features on the car.
