Proof that no matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd in Armani clothing.

I have to wonder how much $$$ was spent on that car and if they couldn't have bought a used luxury car for as much as they spent on trying to make that civic look luxury.

Not bad...I would have opted for other wheels but it looks better than most of the modded Civics that come my way.

I like the simple clean look of it even though it's a civic. No big azz wings or crazy stickers. Not sure how that muffler sounds though.

Better than many Civics I've seen in terms of clean. The Civic is just too small, however, to pull off a VIP look, IMO.

Infinately better than the awful boy-racer Civics here in the states, but I still can't grasp the VIP style on a FWD car. Big lips look great, but serve absolutely no purpose on the rear of a FWD.

Still though. I give them credit for making something other than a 92 hp, 4 foot tall winged, monstrosity.

It's not quite what it wishes it was, but definitely better than what it could be.

Quite nice for a Civic IMO. Obviously different taste than the typical Honda fixer-upper crowd. Oaky...now let's see what they do to a big RWD sedan.

I just dont really see the point... VIP cars are VIP cars because they are BIG and HEAVY. A civic seems almost like a poser...

I hear what you're saying, but the more I look at this picture of the Civic, the less I feel it emulates VIP style. I would classify it more as Executive Style. Had it been dumped, with MONSTER rear offsets and like 25 degrees of negative camber, yes, VIP inspired (since we all know a Civic can never be VIP). But the form it is in here...........Executive inspired.

And it is clean! There's no denying that.
