Thank you; I thought I was the only one who saw that.

 

No, I don't. I stated 'in my opinion' it has a Prius feel/look.

 

yeah.. I see the insight... but i think the insight stole the prius look... its all looking the same, and I don't like any of it. the current civic looks better in my opinion.

 

Hell, I can't tell the Insight and the Prius apart. They look like the same darn car to me.

 

^ +1, i cant tell one pile of crap from another but i guess some people can see differences.

 

Waaaay back in the day, Civics were pretty cutting edge cars, not only in technology, but also in styling. Now it seems that they've settled into a competent, complacent mediocrity, competing with Toyota as to who can make the most benign, "beige" transportation appliances. Granted, as ever, there will typically be little "wrong" with the next Civic -- it will be well built, reliable, comfortable and efficient -- but a mere notch up in soullessness from, say, a Toyota Corolla.

I think cars such as the Mini, Fiesta, Mazda 2 or 3 are the far more interesting vehicles in this class.

 

 

I know that but I asked because the Insight is Honda's car after all

Not like I'm going to buy myself a Civic in the near future

 

Last gen looked better.

 

Actually Civic is competing again Focus, Mazda3 and similar cars.

But anyway, I agree with your statement.
The only problem is, for every 25-year-old who wants a Mazda3 there are five 45-year-olds who wants a Corolla. And that's why boring companies like Toyota are on the top and Mazda ... well, haven't seen any sales increase in a long time.

 

Wow Honda has sure lost its way with the Civic. Good for Ford though, the 2012 Civic has nothing on the 2012 Focus.

 

^ +1 the new focus looks awesome

 

This x10000

 

Except reputation for reliability and resale value.

Although Ford did a great job with current Focus. I read somewhere that Focus is the most reliable car in the USA, followed by a Mustang, Taurus, Hyundai Accent and Honda Accord.

 

Reputation only though, not enough to make me buy an ugly box.

 

 

 

horrible and boring

 

 

I'm the farthest thing from a Ford fanboy, but the current/new Civic sedan is boring. They are capable of much more, but I guess they prefer to keep this particular model extremely "vanilla."
