Default 2006 Honda Civic Breaks Cover

http://www.thecarconnection.com/inde...8&article=8842

Not a bad looking car actually. I see a little bit of TL/TSX in the headlights and a bit of TL/RL/Upcoming Accord at the rear. The cars do pretty closely resemble the Si Concept of this past year. 200hp and a 6 speed make the Si (Honda pulled a double reverse by going from a Hatch to a Coupe with the next gen Si as this move is the opposite of what they did with the last Si Coupe and the current Si Hatch) a better looking alternative to GMs own Cobalt SS. Finally an Si with some decent power. For years Japan and Europe were treated to the 200hp pocket rocket that was the Civic Type R. About time the US gets a comparable product.

Thumbs up

Looks much nicer, then previous models and the extra power...Honda is going to sell every last one they can make.

I donno y.. but I think that car is disgustingly ugly. And I usually like everything.
The front end reminds me of a focus or something on those 4 dr pics.

Not a big fan of the front end. It's kinda mashed up. The car looks unhappy . I much prefer the Cobalt SS.

I'd have to agree. That look does not appeal to me at all.

But at least this Honda appears to be less ricey overall.

I like it. It's nice interpretation of the TSX.

I think Honda is slowly merging all of their vehicles into one superjapmobile... ok in all seriousness it looks just like everything else honda makes...
