Kinja'd!!!

But not enough to the point where I’d heavily consider spending money on one. Still, I don’t think it’s as terrible looking as everyone makes it out to be.

That’s what I keep saying, but my girlfriend doesn’t seem to agree.

Too bad they killed off the two-tier dash.

At least up in Canada you can get the sport touring hatch with the manual.

I actually think the Civic hatches are some of the best sporty Civic designs in awhile. I wanted one when they first came out earlier this year, but after seeing most dealers wanting Accord money for them I passed.

That’s probably the only way I’d take it.

The coupe is the only one I like.

I like the Civic Hatch. Surprisingly, as a Passat owner, I think I’d rather have one over a Golf TSI.

100% agree. Especially in that grey or the white.

It looks pretty great in grey. Probably the only car I’d take in it.

Not a fan of the coupe, personally, but to each their own.

Nyet. Doctor says I’m fine, minus the vision thing.

I like the stony grey my TSX is, but yeah, I don’t think this Civic’s grey would work on it.

It’s terrible. I can’t think of an uglier new car.

For your consideration.

I’ve been saying this. A hatch in that gray or black with dark wheels looks great. It really blows my mind that the same people who are in love with the FiST think this is the ugliest car to ever come out.

Nope. I see these quite often (not very often, Honda being a niche player) and they remain ugly looking yokes.

In further Civic news, Honda have announced that a diesel will be available next year. Available to me that is, YMMV.

I think they look great, I’d be happy to own one.

Besides the fact that I can’t stand the new Civic because it’s a mess , I am very mad, yes mad, about the massive size. It’s the size of a flipping Accord. I know Americans get fatter each year and therefore demand ever larger cars, but Honda has done a good job of hiding the size increase of the Accord. The new Civic looks swollen and they did a terrible job with this generation.

I will concede that the hatch looks slightly better than the sedan. But that’s like saying I’d rather be bitten by a non-poisonous snake vs a poisonous one.

Both of those are also ugly, though not as ugly as the Civic. I gave been up close to one as my brother in law just bought one. It’s awful.

I kind of work at Honda dealer so I drive these a lot.

I’m confused why anyone would take the sedan over it honestly.
