I like the sedan gauges. They're very Civic Hybrid-esque with the blue color scheme. The red scheme on the Coupe would be cool, except I've had my RSX with the red scheme for 9 months now, and it sometimes gets tiring because red is such an "ALERT! ALERT!" color, and can get distracting after awhile. (braces for verbal assault from the RSX coalition)

Also, I noticed the fatter steering wheel (a la RSX, but with 4 spokes) with extra big grips at 10 and 2. Nice touch.

Otherwise, I see nothing else that much different in the Civic, which I guess is a good thing.

However, this kind of bugs me about the new Honda's with automatics (not that I'd ever buy one). Anyone notice how they're taking a Toyota/Nissan move and having LED's next to the gear display on the dash let you know what gear you're in instead of the old style where the gear you were in would illuminate? I don't know, but this new look feels really tacky. My mom's Accord has it much nicer, and more elegant, imo.

I miss classic Honda design...
