They need to toss that split-level dash/gauge setup. They had a chance to do it for 2012, and (apparantly) still haven't done it. Now we have to wait at least four more years.

The new Civic looks great in and out, at least in these pics. Not sure why all the hate.
There are far worse cars in its class, especially the new tC, which is 90ies GM like junk, and far worse than its predecessor, yet I don't see anyone complaining.
I find the new Civic attractive, I showed these pics to my wife and daughter, they said it looks cool. I'm sure its going to continue to sell as good and even better than the previous model. As far as performance figures, its a damn econobox, not sure why everyone seems to have been expecting it to be some sort of super car.

It might not sell as well as the current model. Honda has dropped quite a few sales duds as of late
Element-never met sales goals
Crossturd-never met sales goals
Rimjob-never met sales goals
Insight-never met sales goals
CR-Zzzzz-not currently meeting sales goals
Accord refresh-hasn't helped sales at all
Odyessy-hasn't seen a huge jump in sales and its all new
RL-never met sales goals
TL-sales dropped 50%
RDX-never met sales goals
ZDX-50% of sales target
The CR-Z has been a huge hit.
I think people are waking up and realizing Honda is selling average/ugly on their 1980s/1990s track record. Ford, GM, Hyundai, Kia, Chrysler and Toyota are wide awake. Honda is completely lost.

Damn, and to think I like the interior of the 8th gen Civic (FD). With this new 9th gen one, I'm afraid not. Rather, this new interior looks like a pieceof****

No one's suggesting a sales flop. This will continue being either #1 or #2 (with Corolla) indefinitely. Regardless of the fact that nearly all of these two car's competition has become superior ('12 Focus, Cruze, Elantra).

Not saying the new Civic will be a sales failure. It most definitely will not be simply because it's a "Civic". I was just pointing out the completely underwhelming new design that somehow feels more dated and generic than the 6 year old model it replaces. That's the fail. Oh, and that overall, it's very reminiscent of a 12 year old NEON.

Yes, the Civic is a good car, but is it hate to simply desire a more-conventional dash?
I never have been a fan of the split-level dash (with the digital speedometer)....and probably never will be. The designers had a chance, with the new model, to toss that set-up....and didn't. Now we'll have to want for at least (maybe) the next-generation model.
When I reviewed the new tC a few months ago, I thoroughly described its thin-plastic interior cheapness and cost-cutting.
