2006 Honda Civic ...eeeeugh
The Honda Civic is the cornerstone of Honda and its automotive heritage, earning recognition and acclaim as an icon in the automotive industry since its introduction in 1973. The Civic represents the first high volume production automobile that showcased Honda's spirit of innovation to a North American audience ready for something new. Cumulatively, Civic has reached 16 million customers globally and 7 million in the United States, where it has been the best selling retail compact car for the past nine years. The Civic was the seventh best selling vehicle overall in 2004 and third best selling passenger car. If the Civic were its own individual brand, annual sales in excess of 300,000 would make it the 13th top selling brand in the United States out of more than 40 possible brands.
As the Civic has been re-invented throughout its previous seven generations, each new model has consistently set new standards in the automotive industry with its innovative packaging, attractive styling, high fuel economy, low emissions, fun-to-drive performance, reliability and safety. The pioneering eighth generation 2006 model amplifies the defining character of the Civic with a long list of Honda technology and engineering innovations, resulting in a vehicle that is pure Honda, exclusively Civic and outside the boundaries of traditional small car thinking.
The 2006 Civic represents an extreme transformation of design and dynamics. Multiple powertrains for 2006 range from 197-horsepower high performance to 50 mpg gas-sipping hybrid to an all-around performer with two body styles, representing one of the most diverse vehicles in the industry. An expressive and futuristic design with exciting performance and a dedication to providing advanced safety technology set the Civic apart from the competition.

I don't mind the look of the new Civic at first glance I thought they tryed to make it too "futreristic"but it seems to be getting better the more I see it the Type R will be the one to look out for though

I like it. I think it's way better than the last model and a welcomed departure from the old boring ones. Bring it on!

It would have fit perfectly in the early 90's as a concept car, but it would have ended there. ewww

The Coupe looks good. I am glad they decided against the front and rear lights going across the entire car like the concept.
The Sedan, ewww. . . what's up with the A4 taillights? Why do they HAVE to copy Audi. And it is not like Audi's lights are great either.

Dunno, something looks odd from the side... the front slopes down too quickly and looks short and blunt, the doors are too high, and the C-pillar/trunk looks ugly...
