I don't think the old suspension will come back. Honda seems set on electric steering systems and tall cowls/beltlines, all of which work better with struts.   I could live without either of those, but Honda's electric steering is getting better (eg the s2000) and the Civic's steering never got rave reviews in previous generations anyway, and tall, slabby cars just seem to be popular. To other people.   I'll be upset when it gets heavier and maintains Honda's movement towards mainstream mediocrity. Rumors abound about the CRX coming back; I bet they'll decide that the rest of the Civic line can be boring once that's back.   High school parking lots aren't full of mildly souped up Civics, Integras, and Preludes anymore. This is their chance to permanently lose that fan base, and I think they'll do it. Replies to this message: 307web (Oct 21, 2004 5:39 am) mauto (Nov 18, 2004 4:32 am) nowakj66 (Nov 19, 2004 9:45 am)

#8 of 4597 Older Civics by boomchek Oct 24, 2004 (3:57 am)
I sell Hondas and have about half a page of people who want to be called when a 5th, 6th, or 7th gen used Civic shows up on the lot. Lots of folks looking for GSRs too.   The CRX (1988-1991) is slowly becoming a collector car. I predict the Integra Type R will be too.   With the safety regulations, and reinforced crash structures on new cars we probably wont see anything as light and nimble as the 5th gen Civic/CRX, or with anything with low cowls as the 6th and 7th gen Civics unless you go for an exotic like the Lotus Elise.
#9 of 4597 telescope and tilt wheel by nowakj66 Oct 24, 2004 (6:02 am)
Here is hoping that the new Civics and their derivatives such as the Element and CR-V have tilt and telescoping steering wheels. Makes my Accord 2003 a joy for a tall guy like me!

Replying to: carlisimo (Nov 16, 2004 4:41 pm) That will probably not sell in US unless they had a DX trim. The car is too much like Daewoo Nubira (sp?) and some Peugeot/Renault.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Nov 17, 2004 4:19 am) I have not seen a car lately that isn't like any other. Oh well, may be the Aztek.   But, there is a rumor for the next EL to have 200 HP engine.
#13 of 4597 Not exactly a thing of beauty! by callmedrfill Nov 17, 2004 (3:42 pm)
But in line with artist renderings of the next Civic.      All I've heard if the Ex will have a 140 HP engine, up 10%, while increasing economy.      DrFill

Replying to: blueiedgod (Nov 17, 2004 4:19 am) Why not? There could easily be an Si hatchback just like they have now. If the US version is going to be the same as Europe and Asia, then the sedan may look similar in front. I'd like to see a diesel for 2007 so you can have hybrid MPG without the cost and complexity. Maybe around 50MPG highway even with automatic.
