2012 Honda Civic exposed. (sorry for the disgraceful disappointment ahead of time)
So after a 6 year life of the current model (which I love), Honda takes a step backward and designs the ugliest Civic in modern history.
This was Honda's last chance to show they weren't led by visually impaired designers. Well, this proves they are. So sad. |

How is this garbage from Honda supposed to compete with gorgeous designs from Ford, Hyundai, and Chevy?

I really hope that isn't the actual design. If it is indeed real, yes they did go backwards, it's starting to look like a Toyota. Hate to say that but can't hide the truth.
I love my Yaris but good lord, in my opinion all of the other Toyota models look so damn boring that it puts people to sleep just looking at them.

Here's the back... Have we not discussed the new Focus on Yaris World yet? Ford introduced this almost a year ago. |

funny you say that, Ford recently (a few years ago) acquired designers from VW to help improve their image

The interior photo of the Civic has an "Econ" button which is present on the current Insight and upcoming Fit/Jazz Hybrid. I'd guess it's a Civic Hybrid. I seem to recall a while back Honda announcing that they were pulling all the non-hybrid Civics out of Japan (I think).

it doesn't matter what the civic looks like, as long as they use the cheap ass suspension that lead to all the after market abandoning it, the car wont sell.

Guys/gals, this could be the overseas version of the Civic....
The US may be getting a different rear end and front end... Just look at the overseas versions of the Civics...versus the ones here. They have different tail lights and headlights.... |

True. Let's hope that's the case. For some reason, car companies make hideous designs for overseas. The tail lights here need serious work. They look like the were designed 8 years ago.
