I really like the current gen of Civics. Not so sure how I feel about the 2012. Front looks good but the rear just looks wrong. doesn't feel like a Civic.

I think it's the front that looks wrong"”as if someone had stepped on it. (Someone very large, that is.) I'm also not a fan of the "space age" dash. I drove Civics for over a decade from the early '90s on and enjoyed 'em, but this wouldn't be the model to lure me back.

front isn't too bad. first thought that came to mind with the the tail lights is that they are C300-esque.

Don't like the front, not really my thing.

Interesting. This looks like a combination of the early 2000's design + the new design they introduced in 06. The front windshield isn't nearly as sloped as before, they added curves to the front and the back, and a new gas mileage display.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. The dash looks cool but that picture doesn't capture the fact that it is deep as hell.

My opinion: if you're looking for a fuel-efficient compact, just get a Prius.

The car looks fine. Well I like the front and find the rear boring, but I don't see any glaring

+1. I think its fine. The back end does look a bit big I guess, but they seem to making the civic more the mid-size car in their line I suppose to put it at a higher price point maybe.

I'm sure it is. My 2010 Si is okay to drive but it's only exciting once you get above 4k rpm. But as a summer beater, it's not bad. Sure beats putting $100 worth of gas into my truck to fill up.

It looks OK for a $15k car, as is expected from any other car in the same price range

Debating its looks is just like discussing design qualities of a pair of $75 square-toed Johnston and Murphy shoes
