Something I just do not understand about Honda and why I thought this immediately upon looking at this thread is beyond me.
At what point did Honda say, "We're going to tone the Civic down for the U.S. American's won't like the Asian and Canadian design."? I'll be honest, I don't like four doors on anything really and there isn't Hybrid on the road I'd be caught dead in just because of personal taste. Now If they made the Hybrid look like the CSX and Asian Civic, I'd definitely jump ship. Make it a special edition. Like, "Save the planet and look dead sexy typeRish while ya do so."
I'm not slamming hybrids by any means. In some weird, round about manner, I feel the sedans (R18 and K20 powerd) are too sedated too. Maybe it's just me. I do have strange taste. I prefer the Euro 3 door over the FG2 still.
Maybe I'm alone on this one too though, I love it when Hybrid owners mod their cars such as wheels, tint, other fun appearance stuff. It shows you may be green and all but your funky green!
