I think this is a classic example of one of those things that just baffles you at first, but then grows on you with time. My favorite Civic is still the EK, but I have to admit, the current Civics look pretty decent now (I thought they were ugly back in late 2000) .

Of course, I still can't get over the ditching of the double wishbone suspension up front .

With time, the new '06 will probably endear itself to all of us .
