I think it looks like the Accord Coupe's "mini-me". It's not bad but nothing that really stands out either.

I think it looks pretty good.

It will be a good performer with that 200hp engine and a 6-speed gearbox.

It should be about the same as the Acura RSX Type-S.

looks to me like the concept and production are spitting images of each other. It would be no problem to throw on some goodies and make the production car look like that.

You're correct, they're very close. I think the paint job and aero package on the concept plus the fact it's photographed professionally in a studio make it look a little better.

Its also a spy shot vs. a studio shot with perfect lighting, etc.

I'll bet the Civic will do well. I've seen shots of the sedan and I don't like it as much.

It looks OK to me. Civics have never been particularly attractive so this one, while still playing it close to the vest, looks like a pretty good effort from Honda. It's just not my cup of sake.

Its not my favorite and I agree the concept does look better but at least they went back to the coupe style instead of just the hatchback. Thats a plus
