Agreed! Not bad at all IMO. I hope MPG's have improved... 40mpg would be fantastic!

Not bad, but I expected something more than what looks like a refresh.

At least they didn't give it the USB face

Honda should worry, Hyundai is looking better to me, which is something I wouldn't say five years ago.

Am I the only one that thinks that it's barely changed from the current Civic? It looks like a facelift at best.....

Not much of a FMC...almost like a MMC. Styling is based largely on the old gen with new Jazz/City styling added to it:

Even though those are still concepts, you can already tell how yawntastic the final one will be. Barely looks different from the current car.

This doesn't look bad! My daughter is growing up fast, I'm sure she'll be very excited if we get her the civic coupe.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter what it looks like and if it has over 100 buttons on the center stack, if it says "Honda" and "Civic" on the back of it, people will still buy it.

I still say this is an unacceptable redesign for a car that is 6 years old. Even the 2009 redesign of the previous gen Corolla was a much bigger departure from the old and even that was widely said to not be enough.

Keeping recent Honda designs in mind, I think this one is good looking.. It's not horrible, but it's not mold breaking either. I almost like it. I hope the interior is a larger departure from the current car.

it looks too much like the current gen, but anything is better than their recent weird direction.

Wow, both the coupe and sedan look ALMOST EXACTLY like the current models .

This is definitely WORSE than the Corolla redesign, which was a bigger leap forward than this.

I dread what the interiors will look like, based on the spy video that leaked a while ago. Also from that video we know the Civic sedan will be very bland. Even in concept form it looks quite bland.

What will save Honda though is that these designs are not offensive, so they will have broad appeal. They will probably sell well.
