It seems like they are trying to put in more interior room without sacrificing the overall exterior size of the car, which explains the wierd design of the short hood probably.

I'll admit that Honda's designs are usually pretty conservative,but more timeless.Look back at the past civics,they have aged very well.To me,the '92 coupe still looks good,my 98 type r will look good forever!(ok,i'm biased!)

I think the coupe is amazing. Much better then any previous coupe. I don't see how anyone could complain about it. Even the major car magazines have had postive comments about the styling. The sedan looks a little too blocky, but overall they are much better then the current civic line.

This is definetely a step ahead from the current model. I think you should all wait until the production version comes out - it's hard to tell by these covered up versions. I like that bulbous rear end of the sedan - it gives the car some stature and substance - just like the Mazda 3. Overall, I like the way these cars look. Honda's designs were getting too bland - they have to start taking some design risks. These cars will sell like hotcakes - again!

I'm not sure what to think. The side profile is OK by me, but the front end doesn't look aggressive at all and reminds me of a Saturn, and the rear end is kind of strange and slanty. It reminds me of the Maxima's rear end.
