I had hopes that the 5 door would make better use of the hatchback, the way they did it it doesn't utilize the potential space, they went for looks instead of practically, I wouldn't be too exited to buy one, and the Civic engine is still good, it just has to take the next step and introduce the direct injection and twin turbos for the power and economy, Honda is falling behind in the engine department, it should also come out with the diesel, also they should make a station wagon version for more utilitarian use, it would be just as sporty.

You missed the point 1911, it could be even bigger, look at the older civics that are station wagons, can you imagine how much more room it would have if the roof didn't slope down so much and was similar to how the older Civic was done.

How about importing the new Euro Civic. At least that car has properly progressed to a new and better design the the US one.

This was what I was talking about, why does Europe get all of the good looking efficient cars? Also why do tall people have to all drive full size suvs, the Civic in particular is not a tall persons car, why can't they just make it taller to increase there buying audience? I have a friend that is 6 foot 8 inches, he has only owned full size trucks or suvs, you should have seen him in the smart car at the auto show,lol, his head was out of the sunroof, it was crazy, and yes I am a Honda fan, not because they are the best looking, but the most practical and sporty with safety.
