Mother-in-law brought a new one home last night.
Leased.
Nice little car. 16 inch wheels, great dashboard and controls. Beautiful interior and sharp looking in black.
A definate improvement!
Anyone else seen one yet in person?

I saw a black one the other day. The front end looks really short. Only the four-doors are available now. The two-door Si won't be out till December. It would probably look better as a two-door.

I had seen a few in person so far, looks ok. Notin that great that's for sure. Better then the last one but not by much. Interior is slick but to far out for me.

2-door coupes are out, but the Si is not out untill December. I like the 2 door a lot better than the 4 door. The ad's say starting at $18,xxx but the coupes that I looked at were between $21-$24k. I liked the shape of the seats in the coupe, but I'm still no fan of the designs in the seat material that Honda always uses.

The hybrid Civic has a $25,800 MSRP, they will probably sell lots.

I'm seriously growing on the design of the new Civic.
It looks much better than previous models!

I did the same thing....
It's the front end.
The hood is VERY small, almost echo-ish. It's the large wheels and small front that make it look strange.
And the in-laws is not a hybrid. I told her to look into one, but I think lazyness got the best of her.

The NEW SI or SIR (whatever they're calling it) is supposed to be quicker than the Integra Type R. Could you imagine how much insurance will cost on a small car with 197hp and 180ft-lb of torque?

I saw one today, someone t-boned it near the intersection near my home, it was a blue 2 dr.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
