anybody know what kinda engine will be in this supposed 06 civic? I wonder if they'll throw the k-series engine in it... i think they'll, most likely, stick with the B-series engines.

I think Honda has some of the best engineered cars and they can do some great things, the TL looks good, the S2000 looks great, the NSX is timeless.

The rest of the lineup is quite possibly the ugliest and blandest (there is nothing wrong with bland, btw) lineup in the business. But slap that "H" on there and people will buy them. Poor GM and Ford....

Nice going Lexus Luver ....finally a "spy " shot without a bunch of B.S. tape and bras. Gotta Give Honda credit for that one. But I promised in another thread I would tone down the anti-car-disguise rhetoric, so I'll leave it at that.

BlkGS3: I agree it does look Saturn-ish, specifically the SC2.

That was cute, Mike (1SICKLEX)..........3 paw-pounds of torque.

And it is not far off from what the average Honda VTEC four produces at low RPM's either.

The sedan reminds me of the Prius and already looks outdated.

Don't care for either of them, but as usually the case, the coupe version looks much better.

ugly IMO, especially the sedan. the coupes rear looks alright and the profile might be okay, i cant really tell but the front end looks like it came off of an old solara.

Its ugly, period. Its not hating, its not fan-boy. The cars are ugly. Its ugly like the 5 series, its ugly like the Prius, its ugly like the Aztek, its ugly. Its ugly like the Echo, its ugly like that fish mouth Peugeot. Its ugly. And people will buy them b/c they believe in Honda engineering. Which is damn outstanding especially sine Honda has mastered the small economy car. I am sure the interior will be very classy for a small car.

But the Scion Tc now looks gorgous to this car. And the Tc is not perfect to me either.
