Post Acura Civic CSX gets the Beak





Now this is odd. To ME, it doesn't seem that bad, in a Saturn way and the beak is tacked on, not part of the original design.

oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nnoooooooo!

everytime i see this front on the road i think to my self *man that's ugly, one more reason not to buy an acura rite there*

yuck


can i also touch on the wheel well 'flairs' (the fact that they're flat & like more than an inch tall and look like they've been shaved off!). Nissan is doing this rite now too, and i don't like it there either. why oh why do i want it to look like my car was too wide for something so they took a sander to it so it could fit thru the what ever opening now that my wheel well flairs have been taken care of

stupid

we do have the civic, we also have the CSX for those who want the best of lowest platforms

with the same price, you can almost get an Audi A3...you pick

Why would Acura market something like that? Seems like it would compete against its own TSX....unless the two are not sold together in certain countries.

Not the same market. The Acura CSX is for the Canadian market. Mike just added the "Civic" to the name because it really is just a upscale Civic rebadged as an Acura for their market.

Yes, the Civic rebadging is obvious, but I didn't know Acura sold this car in Canada. In fact, in a lot of countries outside the U.S., the Acura name is not used at all.....the corporation's vehicles are marketed as Hondas.

When you thought it couldn't get worse ... it's bad enough that Honda even offers the "Acura CSX", and now they add that horrendous grill?

Before the CSX it was known as the EL (Civic rebadge).
