Future Civic

Looks like Honda is starting to get it in the US. Maybe too late...

I agree. I might even consider it as a commute car.

That looks just like the Scion TC.

I wouldn't say I like it alot but I would take it over the current body styling. It' s looks like an accord with a RSX body... pretty cool and has 200hp.. the down side is it's just a freaken civic. (no disrespect, I use to drive one)

I like it... it does look like the Tc like most of you said... its looks like the combo of a Tc, the current accord, and maybe a hint of the TL.

Yeah, but i like the TC too. It's basically an RSX type-s with a different shell. I'm very impressed.

It's pretty good!

But, it might've been better if it was turbo'd from factory. I'm looking forward to something like that from Honda.

This car doesn't make any sense. First of all, who ever heard of a $20,000 Civic? And who would pay $20k FOR a Civic? Second, a 200-hp engine isn't compatible with the fuel-sipper image that the Civic is famous for; despite Honda engineering, they won't get that up to 35 MPG highway. Third, with that paint scheme it looks riced from the factory, which means the tuner crowd won't have much to mess with -- they like a blank slate.
