if the new Accord is any indication, Honda knows whats up, it just took a long time to get there

i havent been impressed with the Civic since 2000. my 93 has 291 000 kms on it, i neglect the fuck out of it and its still the best car ive ever owned

It definitely looks a lot better, at least in pictures. I'm more interested in seeing how it looks in person, along with what internal adjustments have been made.

Don't wanna complain which car looks more like which car.

it must've took lots of time and effort for designers to come up with newer design when it comes to newer generation of each vehicles or face-lifted ones.
Keep in mind part of it has to do with crash test regulations and pedestrian safety standards, which lead to everyone having similar bumper dimensions/height and such, as well as aerodynamics and fuel economy standards which necessitate certain greenhouse shapes.

But as far as styling characteristics go, I see what you mean. Shapes of tail lights and headlights and other minor aesthetic values do seem to be "copied" from manufacturer to manufacturer, to a certain extent...

I dunno. My mom has a 2012 Civic and I really enjoy driving it, and IMO looks fine. It's a basic mid size mid priced family car. Does what it's supposed to do.

That's a nice exterior and interior. It even has stitching on the dash!

They re-used the 8th gen si wheels too... I always liked that style.
