Default Passed a whole bunch of 2007 Civics today

I got some awesome new shots of the upcoming Civic coupes and sedans on my way home from Florida today, going North on I-75. They were very lightly camoflauged. I think I'm going to see if AutoWeek, AutoSpies, Edmunds, TheCarConnection or anyone else would be willing to buy them, but I'm willing to talk about them until I decide to post them.

Any questions or comments?

Yeah stop teasing us and do what you gotta do already!

I'm not exactly holding my breath for the new Civics after seeing the recent Accord facelift though...

Like it or not, at least it'll be interesting if they have similarities to this hatch version :

Good memory. I forgot they had this hatch concept already....which makes me hold even less breath for it.

To get excited about a Civic is to get excited about watching hair on your back grow

To be honest with you...it's a pretty good looking car and there are definitely some elements of the hatch in the finished design. A deal with TOV might be in the works...

Wow first they made the Civic Si hatchback look like a small 2 door odyssey. Now the latest Civic reincarnation looks like a 2 door Nissan Murano. ugly.

I'd even put the Murano a notch or two above this latest Si.......I'm still undecided on the Aztek.

Only thing I'm kinda anticipating are the reviews on the new Civic Si, hopefully Honda made an attempt to rekindle the CRX or ITR flame it killed a decade ago. Other than that, sitting here watching my hair grow seems more fun than waiting on the new Civic
