Dreadful!

There was once a Baboon in a suit,
Who's bum was as bald as a coot,
He crept out of his den,
And armed with a pen,
He put the Civic's sharp looks to the boot!

I can't write about how they all drive until the embargo ends on 1/12, but I will say that there are some significant surprises, and I'll be saying things I never thought I would say!

You sure do love dangling your carrots!

I am very curious to hear what you have to say! Roll on the 12th

Presumabley you will be paying close attention to any build quality improvements...

Why no Champions white for the Type S

Unknownsoldier · 19th November 2008, 16:40

Cos the white they used looks naff, almost the same colour as the ford escort van my father used to have.......................

Because Honda only use that colour on Type R cars.

more so than you do with dates......the embargo ends on the 1st of December - where did you get the 12th from????

I feel sorry for you Dan, you'll have one hell of a job trying to shift the monstrous 5 door!

Unknownsoldier · 19th November 2008, 17:13

..............correction WC.................. any of the new style..........

Just hope when I order my next car in April 2011 that the next gen Civic is better looking. There's no way on earth I'd drive the facelifted 5 door!

NH Dan · 19th November 2008, 17:16

Dont actually think that the grill on the new 5 door is that bad.

The new type S is the R type grill with a light silver edge to the grill rather than the dark silver edge to it.

The Type R isnt any difference other than its upgrades.

Then I have the easy bit. Compare it to its 'competitors' in the market place. its still better than most. You all know, you all own one.

Wheelchair · 19th November 2008, 17:17

Ever the optimist, eh Dan?

robbo51 · 19th November 2008, 17:42

The grill looks great on both the S and 5 door

Well done Honda..but you could have done so much more

You know what, funnily enough I am with you on this one Dan, I actually quite like it!
And am also pleased with the upgrades on the EX GT.
Am starting to think about changing my 56 plate next year, and I would happily buy another civic!

Nor do I actually. People will soon get used to it.

That seat fabric/door trim (pics 6/7/8 ) is what the Type S currently has - suede type edges to the seats, and black with silver dots in the middle.

I love the old front, it was what attracted me to the care. I don't like the new one at all. But I don't suppose my opinion will bother Honda too much.

Don't be too sure ... Honda do seem to take cognisance of this Forum's feedback (at least, some of it) ! ...

When many owners say they love their Civic, but hate one particular feature - well, even the really dumb will eventually take heed ...

And yes, MANY of us (including me) simply detest the "Drunken Baboon's Nostrils" on the facelift 5-door !!! ...
