#87 of 4597 Maybe, maybe not by chidoro Feb 25, 2005 (10:00 am)
The EX Accord has no differentiation in HP from the LX. While I wouldn't discount it, I wouldn't expect it to be a guarantee. Maybe it will have a 5 speed auto like the one in the accord available, who knows? I would guess the hp to be the same since they're going to use the same i-vtec. I would also guess the differences might be alloy wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, sunroof, and maybe a 6 speaker 6-cd changer stereo as standard.
#88 of 4597 TOV has pics of the new Civic for EUrope by anythngbutgm Feb 28, 2005 (9:14 am)
Looks like pics have leaked for a possible Euro hatch 5 door. What's neat is you can't even tell it's a 5 door since the rears are so concealed and the handles are integrated into the window lines. Pretty slick looking car IMO with quite a daring design compared to the current conservative one.
#89 of 4597 Drool if you're European... by brightonowner Feb 28, 2005 (9:44 am)
...weep if you live in North America.   Here's the 2006 five door: http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=333599
#90 of 4597 Hmm by stickguy Feb 28, 2005 (11:27 am)
If it didn't look too funky in person (such as that grill), if the seat comfort/room and driving dynamics were there, I would be all over that 5 door. Kinda like a more practical version of my Scion tC.
#91 of 4597 Si by stickguy Feb 28, 2005 (11:29 am)
the Si looks/sounds neat also. What they really need to do is an Si 5 door, but I sure ain't holding my breath for that one!   Of course, we will get a frumpy 3 box sedan I'm sure, and a 2 door coupe with not practical value.   Civics were always hatches in the good old days. My '85 1500S was amazingly roomy and practical for it's size, thanks to the boxy yet attractive shape.

Bring back the hatch. I agree that the 2 door coupe is hardly practical. I still don't understand why the least practical civic, gets the most practical engine - the HX coupe. Replies to this message: muser (Mar 05, 2005 12:47 am)
#93 of 4597 bad news/plus interesting observation by chris777 Mar 05, 2005 (12:13 am)
I am sure most already have heard this, and since honda seems to thoroughly enjoy giving north america the shaft it should come as no surprise but :   "So far, there are no plans to bring any hatch to North America but, “there were not any plans to bring the past Civic Si hatch either”. In any case, given the new European Civic's direction, it would be difficult to integrate it in the NA Civic line-up. If it finally arrives to NA, it will be more likely as an Acura, and would be a 3 door hatch. But please, note that this is merely speculation on my part – the Honda rep did not know anything apart from the fact that so far Honda is not bringing a hatch to NA. "   From an interview off of vtech.net   I also had an erie observation today   everyone im sure had heard about all of the talk of a resurection of the CRX well if i didn't just happen to see one today that was spot on the exact same color as that orange civic 5 door .   And the resemblance was striking   In an updated way I've heard the 3 door will end up much like the 5 door in appearance, and sorry I forgot how to post picks, but compare the last CRX to the civic concept, and tell me they arent of the same genes (and no om not talking about the platform, im speaking of design, much like the insight, only a bit more subtle)   split window hatch with a pseudo built in fin the slope of the car the way it looks short and sleek like the crx, It just really stuck out when i spotted that car today, anyone else see it?

Replying to: dudleyr (Feb 28, 2005 12:12 pm) I agree with dudleyr -- the 3-door hatchback is the most practical configuration for those who want a performance daily driver. It is much more useful for carrying any cargo. Since 90% of the time i drive with 2 people or less in the car, a 5-door "sports wagon" is a waste of money. Give me a hot hatchback, or i'll give up on Honda and resort back to the original -- the VW GTI.   As for the European 2006 Civic -- it's not as ugly as most pictures show it to be, but it sure isn't anywhere near as brathtaking as the Alfa Romeo Brera. Why does the North American market get the heaviest, slowest, and most boring vehicles???

"...Why does the North American market get the heaviest, slowest, and most boring vehicles???"   Because we are the heaviest, slowest, and most boring people.   Seriously I would love to see either the 2dr or 4dr hatch with 200hp or better make it to NA. But I will try to await the arrival of the 2dr coupe and give it a look. Hope that the designers don't freak out on the interior. After two Audis I'm pretty much spoiled rotten when it comes to interiors. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Mar 07, 2005 5:26 am)

Europeans look at us as we look at Amish. Of course I am exaggerating, but as much as we would like to think that we are the leading nation, and we are in technology and engineering (slightly behind Japan), we are way behind on cultural advancment. And it shows from how fat we are (due to our eating habits and lack of exercise), what cars we drive, how we dress, and how stubborn (religiously) we are. Would I want to live in Europe? Not really, but I would like to see US to advance a little bit into the 21st century, culturally.   I look at Japan, having lived there as well, Japanese have been sucessful at mixing the old and the new. No where else in the world would you see such a harmonic blend of past, current and future, all in one. When you are on the street, people dress like they are in Paris, conduct business like Americans, and still retain Japanese cluture and religion.   Oh, well... end of rant.
