Opinions vary. My car is nicer than the new one. Eldaino what part or parts of the new spec do you think is nicer than the previous model?

i just think that the new one looks 'buffer'. i love the lines of it; especially from the pic you provided. The rims are a nice touch too; some of the nicest 17's this side of a gti. I just don't like how high off the ground it is. Thats my only gripe

You mean tougher? It looks like an Altima's and Prius' illegitimate love child. The wheels aren't bad but I still like my 17" wheels anyway.

To me, looks like a chunky cherub. The antithesis of the sleek and swoopy Civic.
 
To each his/her own.

yeah, i feel ya. But i still wouldn't call the new civic muscular. But i do prefer the swoopiness.
 
One thing i do like about nissan though is that they have a nice in the middle model; the base se-r. Sportier than the rest, just not the best, and it is an obvious change from the rest of the line.
 
I'd like a civic sedan with the 2.0 from the base rsx/02-05 si, with a 5 speed auto (maybe paddle shifters? or at least a row it yourself kind of feature), a standard leather steering wheel, a slightly better sound system, and maybe the honda factory performance suspension standard to set it apart from both the si and ex. Call it the civic se or si-r or something.
 
That would be nice.

That and the fact that the frog chassis is near 3,100lbs. The previous model was perfect. The Skyline's shift knob and a half-assed G-Meter in the new Spec doesn't cut it.

The Civic is anything but muscular or intimidating looking, at least in basic DX/LX/EX form. I honestly prefer the look of my Accord to the new Civic, and my Accord debuted in 03.
 
I also like the idea of the Civic SE with a power bump too, but that would be detrimental to the Civic's image (economy certainly going down). Maybe the SE Civic with leather, Auto Climate Control, paddles, and a power driver's seat for (same engine) for $1,200 more (same engine)?

exaclty! why cant we have this, minus the more luxurious features, such as xenons? (i'll take a leather option like graduate mentioned though.)
 
and with regards to leather, i still feel this is one of the big issues with the civic; pretty much EVERYONE offers this option, but not honda. They would have NO problems finding people to offer it.
 
I like your idea grad, but i still want more power. The k20 in the base rsx/old si hatch gets 22/28 under the new standads; with the five speed auto and some different gearing, i don't see why 24/31 wouldn't be possible and thats still decent and at least on par with sportier entries like the se-r and mazda 3. I think leather should be an option regardless, but a trim line like this would be great. Maybe add 2100 like you said and it'll sell!

Anyone see the Motor Trend article comparing Elantra, Sentra, Civic, and Lancer?
 
If you subscribe, I won't ruin the outcome for you, but I will tell you the people in this forum will probably like the outcome.
