The new Honda Civic ... raw deal ?

[Overdrive]

Honda managed to turn the Honda City into an ugly duckling but tried compensating its buyers with a range of hi-tech engines and supposedly 'cutting-edge' suspension. Anyone who hasn't paid for the Ugly Duckling would agree that the Vario engine and suspension are certainly not as noticable as the pathetic styling of the car. In fact, the car resemble a cheap chinese iron. What will they make it look like next? A russian toaster?

Whats even worse is that the Honda Accord is being turned into Ms. Daisy's automobile. Again, the shift is from a great looking vehicle with smooth lines and sporty styling to something that will only impress your grandmother (when she isn't wearing her glasses).

Any one have any clue what they're going to do next ? Are these cars especially built for the 'vision impaired' segment of the market ?

Here's a spyshot pic of it:

As expected, a shorter snout (aka Honda City) does some damage to the aesthetic balance of the car, although it doesn't look too bad on a coupe (picture) but i'm pretty sure it'll make the sedan look awkward!

Thanks for the spy shot!
