This is the Civic "concept" at Geneva. It is suposedly 95% of what Swindon will start building soon. Far better than the current ugly loaf-of-bread on wheels...

Shame the exhausts never end up looking like the concepts.

I like that a lot though - looks very unique!!
 
It looks smaller and more purposefull than the current bread... and even than the Golf et al. The rear doors look VERY small. So not sure how easy it would be to get in there! Guess the A2esque rear fin will go in the production version as it makes it nearly impossible to fit a rear wiper! (As we all know!) I love the cab-forwardness of the design as well, the way it looks as if it is moving or ready to pounce... something a Jaguar should have in its DNA... yet few these days have.

What a tasty looking car!

Dolphin Grey 1.4 petrol c/w OpenSky
 
OOps.
I must be the only one who doesnt like it.
Lights front and rear look awful ![B)]
Windows are illegal.[9]
And those wheels will never make it beacause of curbing.
I wander if they are suicide rear doors ?
It must be im tired ,i got up and watched the qualifying
this morning. Bloody washout.
Sorry
Cheers
I like the colour though.[27]

The (Alfaesque hidden) rear door handles are in the C-post so these are normal opening doors and not suicide doors. This is a concept of which the interior is not being shown yet, hence the dark tinted windows!

Mmmmm, dare I say 80's styling?

Steve - A couple of A2's, then a Corolla, now an Avensis T3-X 2.0 Auto
 
For some reason the front end reminds me of the Subaru SVX - a coupe of about a decade ago.

Don't drink drive! Not only is it socially unaceptable, it also harms A2's.
Was a Merlot Red 1.4SE petrol originally.
Now an Ebony Black 1.4SE petrol with Red Leather, CC, Symphony + all the previous options we had.
 
I have read that the exhaust will make production. It is my intention to swap our 2003 Honda Jazz for this car when we change as I like to have a car early on in its model cycle and Honda dealers are great. I have also read the 2.2 diesil from the Accord will go in which will be a flyer. As it will be built in the UK some discounts should be available through car supermarkets/brokers fairly quickly as Honda are not restriced on imports unlike the Jazz.
 
Buying too early in a model cycle also means your car will (or could) have lots niggly problems as they get their heads around building it properly. Note the last 3 Golf ranges were total lemons in the first year of production for each cycle. Personally I will never buy a car within a year from launch...
