Is that a dream or a nightmare? Either way, it's not realistic.

I kind of like it... but you know the production version will look nothing like it

Not bad. It's going to be a heavy, but at least it will be a pretty and heavy. That beats the heck out of the current ugly and heavy ones.

Probably Euro model only. the current euro civic looks something like that based on what I saw on Top Gear a while back.

I like it. Sorta has a S2000 front end. Pictures like these are always floating around......... and they never turn out that way.

I thought I read somewhere that Honda is putting more thought into the CR-Z concept. Apparently they need an efficient 2-door hatch as opposed to just the Fit.

I like the Fit, but it's not really sporty, and I like the SI, but it's not really versatile.

Civic Hatch ftw.

2008 Civic 2500-2800lbs 2005 civic 2450-2700lbs 1999 civic 2350-2600lbs 1995 civic 2100-2250lbs

2008 Fit, 2500lbs 2008 Yaris 2300lbs

Wow.. I mean look at that 400lbs of weight gain since 1992 thats inexcusable. I wouldn't call a 2500lb car heavy. My 1986 fiero was 2800lbs in 1986. A 1988 BMW 325 is 2800lbs. The 2005 mini cooper, the car that all modern cars should be.. 2500lbs. Sure some modern cars are heavier than they used to be. They are also safer and stronger than they used to be.

I don't want a safe car. I want a light car. berkeley the insurance institute and their 5 berkeleying stars.

I highly doubt we'll get a model like that here, Honda shafts America on all the cool stuff, except for the NSX.

Give us the Euro Accord Wagon, the Japanese Type Arghh Civac, and a RWD Coupe with a V8 derived from the ALMS program.....Com on Honda....PREASE?!?!?!
