New Civic is ugly as sin!

Hi, has anyone else noticed that the new Civics are butt ugly? I have lately
been appalled at the Ford Prius and the Toyota Crapbox, as they are tall,
narrow, stubby, and short, and now have been shocked to see Honda jumped on the
style and is making the new civics to the same dimensions.

What is of particular disturbance to me is the height of the top of the trunk,
making the vehicle difficult, no doubt, to see out of. Also is the lack of
hoodline, it is just a little stub of a front end. Damn it is ugly.

Looking at the car, it looks like the current trend of rising center of
gravity, narrow wheelbase, and overall design will give a car of lesser
performance, worse aesthetics, and worst of all, poor handling. Cars don't
need to look like SUV's (Stupid Ugly Vehicles), and I only hope that this trend
is soon reversed. Why should we buy worse handling vehicles designed around a
trend. Function at the expense of aesthetics is never a good trade, especially
when the aesthetics are inspired by shitty american cars.

Agreed. I hated the new Prelude when it came out and I still do compared to
the two previous versions. It took a while for me to get used to the shape
of the Gen 6 Civics and I still am not that impressed with them compared to
the 4-door and coupe. This Generation 7 Civic simply looks like it's been
designed by a very large person wielding an "ugly stick". Not even the
"Bulldog" City Turbo IIs were this ugly, in fact, they look better IMO.
Hell, a first generation Civic looks better :b

I think it is a big improvement, especially in the "looks" department.

Hmm, I didn't think it was that bad - compare with the sporty version of
the hatchback they are selling in Europe... now that's ugly... in the same
league as the Toyota Echo in the looks dept.. The one good thing - I hope
anyway - is that the new Integra replacement (RS-X ?) will not be a tarted
up Civic like the current one... no way they can get away with it... not
with me anyway. Shit, I'd have to go back to looking at VWs and Toyotas.

If your looking for aftermarket bodykits that look good on the new Civics,
your SOL. They suck ass.
Stock, their looks sucks ass. So any way you look at it, they suck ass.
