What is the most important thing for having rear disc brakes? Extra-short stopping distances and/or compensating for a heavier vehicle; A feature for the driver who wants a sportier ride; Something for owners that are prepared to spend more in servicing costs. The wheels and tires on the Civic Hybrid are comparable to the DX. Clearly, the Civic Hybrid is positioned for economical driving, not the extra thrill of turning corners at high speed. Besides, the brakes have to work in tandem with the stopping power of the generator.

BTW, in Canada, the DX-G has adopted the "pie plates" from the Hybrid for 2008. They have a strikingly fresh look on some of the Civic colours. I think the best use of them so far are with an Atomic/Neutron blue body.
