PUKE

dont want!

I think someone at Honda took a ton of acid just before some of these new designs were drafted.

It looks like a prius...

csxian · 07-18-2008, 04:49 AM

If that's a Honda, it could be a Honda Stream Hybrid. More spacious and better looking than Prius, IMo

This link is about the new Honda hybrid that's supposed to come out late 09. It's not a Civic but a different model.

I hope so cause that looks way to much like a Prius, ugh what's up with copying that ugly style?

durufle · 07-22-2008, 05:47 PM

It's kinda hard to tell with those pics, since they try to "hide" its appearance to some degree. I think it will end up looking much more like the FCX Clarity - which is good. That's a pretty sexy car.

Speaking of the Clarity -- I understand that due to the limited production of those few that are being leased in California, they're probably worth in the neighborhood of $500,000 each. Mercy!

lithosphere · 07-22-2008, 06:56 PM

man looking at the picture some more the image posted there really does look like the Prius. It's like Honda bought a Prius chopped up the body a bit to add vent holes, a few minor style mods. Taped it all up to cover there quick mods to the Prius. blah

nayilsi · 07-22-2008, 07:00 PM

Brilliant looking !

o-hatch · 07-22-2008, 09:38 PM

It's NOT a Civic!!!

ortivt6 · 07-23-2008, 08:26 PM

It looks like its time to start saving for the new front bumper... I wonder if the Mugen SI will also get this new bumper if it comes out in 09...

It's really not that different at all, guys... except for what may be under the tape on the front bumper.

Considering alot of dealers are virtually giving away their Mugens right now, I highly doubt we'll ever see a Mugen ANYTHING ever again.

It sucks, too... If my dealer had offered me the Mugen for the same $25k they offered it to me last week for, I would have bought that instead of my FG2.

Maybe Honda will realize that even though some people are "Mugen Crazy" people aren't stupid..a 30K civic..please..

exactly. Hondaphiles covet the MUGEN name, but also know it's worth. If it was something like the MUGEN RR than that'd be different. There would be more changes to somewhat justify the price, but even then...

i'm pretty sure the headlights are the same as 06-08.

honda needs to put stock projectors on the new civics. EVEN the scion tc has stock projectors now! we're falling behind

spinner · 07-28-2008, 04:44 PM

Ugh. Now the luxury Civic Hybrid is getting compared to kiddie-cars like Scion? There is nothing wrong with reflectors and I can't see projectors doing anything to improve the Civic, apart from making the engine bay more congested.
