#44 of 4597 Couple could be 3 door by fdanna Feb 11, 2005 (11:47 am)
Ever seen a Scion tC? It looks like a coupe, but it's really a 3 door hatch. Any chance the Civic would have this kind of configuration? Then you get the look of a coupe with the versatility of the hatch.

I guess thats not totally impossible, the RSX is considered a hatch, but it looks like a normal coupe, so they could do that for the civic. I highly doubt a 5 door would look like that though, based on the spy shots of the 5 door, but a 3 door maybe.   Most likely we will just get the coupe, sedan, and Si coupe without any hatchback. Hatches don't do well in America normally. Personally, I don't like the lines of the Civic 5door from the spy shots. I don't like hatcbacks in general, save for a few that I think are nice looking such as the Mazda 3 and VW Golf.

Add me to the list of people that wish there was a Civic wagon coming to the US market.
#47 of 4597 hatch vs fast back by blueiedgod Feb 14, 2005 (4:17 am)
There is a difference between hatchback and a fast back.   tC, Mazda6, old Supra, Camaro were all Fastbacks. Mazda3, Protege5, Civic Si are Hatchbacks.   SUV's can be considered hatchbacks, but rather large ones.   Hatchback in its essence is a 2 box body, with somewhat sqared off cargo area. Fastback would have a sloping rear. Although Fastback have slightly more utility, they are no better than sedans at carrying large loads with the "lid closed" due to the sloping of the rear. Hatchbacks, with the squared off rear, can carry large loads with the hatch closed.
#48 of 4597 Civic Si by Sylvia STAFF Feb 14, 2005 (5:07 pm)
Honda Civic Si Back With 200 Horsepower   One of the biggest news stories from last week's Chicago auto show was the return of a Civic Si two-door to the Honda lineup, if only in concept form. Honda told press audiences last week that the sporty two-door shown in Chicago was a concept, but that 90 percent of its looks were accurate in terms of the coming Civic Si coupe due in the fall. The eighth-generation Civic will be a 2006 model, and will certainly sport a model like this one, probably with the concept's 200-hp, four-cylinder engine in hand. The front-wheel-drive Si will be the fastest Civic yet, said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda Motor Co. -- and Honda will introduce it officially in November at the annual Specialty Equipment Manufacturer's Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. The Civic Si concept also features a six-speed manual transmission, 18-inch wheels and Brembo caliper brakes. The new Civic range will include a hybrid version and be loaded with safety equipment, making it the "safest car in its class," Mendel added.
#49 of 4597 When? by claudius753 Feb 14, 2005 (9:38 pm)
So, if the Si will officially debut at the SEMA show in November, that means it won't be available until November at the earliest?   When would the non-Si models be available? I heard that it will be introdused as a 2006 model in the fall of 2005. What are the estimates on when this will be? I was planning on purchasing a new car in June/July but the next-gen Civic makes me want to wait. So am I being optimistic when I hope that by 'fall' they mean September? I don't mind waiting 2 months, but I don't want to wait until mid November. I hope Honda is forthcoming about powertrain specs and photos of the exterior and interior well in advance of the car's release. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Feb 15, 2005 5:24 am)
#50 of 4597 When or how much? by blueiedgod Feb 15, 2005 (5:24 am)
Replying to: claudius753 (Feb 14, 2005 9:38 pm) It is not a matter of when, which will most likely be March 2006, but how much? Honda priced the last Civic out of its price range with very optimistic $19,7xx MSRP. And some people paid that. Majority of us did not. Will you be willing to pay $21,000 - $23,000 for a Civic? The Brembo's and 18 inch wheels will most likly not make it into the production vehicle, but may be available as HFP option, for another $5000.   I know that for $2000 more ($25,000 - $26,000) I can get an entry level Luxury vehicle with the same 200 hp, and more torque from 2.4 liter: Acura TSX.

TSX weighs about 600 lbs more, so performance will be different.   I want to know about the 4 door and the standard engine as I don't race my car. I hope it does not look as overdone as the SI. Replies to this message: 307web (Feb 16, 2005 10:05 pm)

I was referring more to the base model Civic, the DX LX and EX. If I price a Civic EX sedan with auto, foglights, and sunroof, the price is nearly $20,000.   I would be willing to pay $20,000 for a 2006 Civic LX sedan with an iVTEC engine, 5speed auto, foglights, and sunroof. Thats not too far away from what other models in the class cost. A Mazda 3 5 door with similar options would cost $19,500. A Chevy Cobalt LS would cost $19,350.   There will most definatly be a price increase with the next gen Civic. Honda wants to move it a little more up market, with the forthcoming Fit/Jazz moving in to be the entry level Honda. Also, with Honda's new saftey campaign, according to the John Mendel's remarks, all Civics will offer ABS, front, side and side curtain airbags as standard equipment.

I don't think an LX Divic will cost 20,000. An Accord LX is about 20k and you can get them for $18k.
