This is the only way Jalopnik armchair critics will like the new Civic

It’s a subtle design flaw, but a very effective one.

I like it better than the 3. Their design language doesn’t do anything for me. I liked their super happy design language.

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the design of the new Civic and Accord. They’re definitely cars I need to see in person before I pass my final judgments on. Pictures make it seem like there’s something overall “off” about it and I can’t exactly say what it is. I assume they’re pretty good looking in person though.

I feel like this ford grill is not going to age well. Otherwise I like the new design

I just saw one on the road yesterday. It looks like a Civic. Even the back end and size looks right on the road and the front really doesn’t look Acura. I was very surprised how it already looks like it was a year old on the market. Like most Hondas, I received neutral emotions.

Honda had that grille for eight years.

Thank you! Now I know why it felt so familiar even though I saw my first new Civic yesterday.

Good to hear. I figured that it would be much better looking in the real world than on film.

I’ve seen a few Accord sedans on the road. I like them. They have a nice square stance to them.

The Kodo design language certainly looks good, but what annoys me is the fact that everyone on Jalopnik worships Mazda like God.

Oh wait, Mazda is a sponsor.

I like Mazda for the fact that they make some good cars for the segment but I don’t worship them. I’d rather take a Subaru over a Mazda anyway. Though my real alliances lie with the Brits.

If only Hennessey did a Mazda..... Jalopnik would have a crisis.

I like it!

In all seriousness, I think the 2016 Civic looks like a great car.

And I don’t “worship” Mazda. I just think they make some great, reliable, fun cars. Hence why my wife and I have had 3 of them.

The thing is that Honda lost their soul in the last 10-15 years, while Mazda continues to make decent cars. They’ve been doing it for years.

That said, if this was real, it would be able the most hideous thing Mazda has put out in years.

I think the love is well-placed, considering they just make good cars. The thing I never understood was why the platform mates of the Mazda3 were never as loved.

Wait, what? We build something in that segment?

Honda didn’t lose their soul, they lost money.

No, not currently, just my general preference for British vehicles.
I mean maybe if you could Vauxhall you might make something in the segment, but we in the US don’t get Vauxhall.

With parts stolen from other cars, no less.

I don’t mind it on the 6 and up, but I just don’t think it looks good on small cars.

Yeah but it’s not trying to devour the entire front end with that Civic.

False what it needs is an Acura badge up front and TSX, or better yet Integra badge on the rear. Because It’s an Acura TSX not a Civic in every conceivable way.

But it’s I-VTEC so it won’t hit hard, ever.

why would some one try to make a street racer out of an Accord.
