Well this is completely the opposite.

It looks pretty ugly.

Think how I feel. We in the U.K. and Europe have had to look at this ruddy thing since 2006 with one tweak here and there from time to time. ;)

I have to agree, and I haven't liked the styling on any Civic for a looooong time now.

Well, the last-gen Euro Civic looks great.

I've always thought the same thing every time someone complains that we don't get the Euro Civic. Our Civic is a gorgeous car comparatively.

The newer version saloon looks okay.

Kinja'd!!!

But the coupe looks like an afterthought.

I actually kind of like the coupe in SI form,

This train wreck reminds me of the overwrought garbage Pontiac foisted on us back in the 1990s-early 2000s.

Not a fan of any civic made after 2004 or so. They've just gotten xboxheug

I won't grow on me. Its like ham, the more you conserve it the worse it gets.

It does look a bit like they threw the Erebuni cut rate bodykit catalog at an unsuspecting Prius.

I'm not a fan of the rear quarter. Maybe I'm too used to seeing three door hatches rather than coupes.

Mmmm that EG tho... Love the 92-95 hatch. I had a 92Si. Fun, fun little car it was.

Agree - it's kind of "Juke-ish" but in a bad way.. The whole rear half is really quite awkward and I'm not a fan of those "eyebrow" fender arches.

I think I'm about due to own an EG/EH. I've owned 4th, 6th, and now 7th gen Civics, but I skipped 5th.

How'd you manage to skip the 5th? That's where all the magic happens. You're really messing my head up. I don't need another car, this Saturn is doing it's job but the temple of VTEC is calling my name again....

I had a 6th gen my 99 ex sedan, but sold that when I found a rust free 91 hatch, I had that till it got rear ended, then a 97 Integra GSR(it was a glorious piece of shit due to an idiot previous owner), then a 97 Accord, and now my 2001 Ex coupe.

I have been thinking about trying to get into a Del Sol tho.

SO TEAL,

That front fender is horrendous, it is as if a CRZ was transplanted onto a Civic.

In any case it's FWD, so it doesn't really matter how good (or bad) it looks to me. Yes, I know the pre-production model ran some crazy insane time on the Nurburgring (7:50 or something). It's still FWD, and I'm done with FWD - want AWD now.

Eh, I actually really like the look of the Civic we had before this current one. They've certainly been something of a eyesore since the ninth generation model launched in 2011, though.

The 2006 (FA5) Si Sedan was the last Civic that really turned my head. When the later versions of the same body style started getting lower bumper scoops, it was all downhill, and the Civic started looking pretty cheesy.
