How does the back bumper come off? I can't seem to find a line, be good in a crash, yeah it's gonna cost you mate, we have to replace half of the rear

How do you individually replace anything... The way Im seeing it in case of an accident the whole shell needs replacing

I think that looks fantastic!

Rumour is that there will be a Type-RR too, which will be lightened further (expect use of carbon fibre?) and stripped of luxuries like A/C and 'leccy windows and have the powerplant fettled to get 230bhp from it

theres a very faint line just under the corner near the end of the light, you can just about see it if you look close.

it really is horrible though and confirms my point as to why jap cars are crap! good engines maybe... design definatley not! the previous civic didn't look too bad, what the hell were they thinking with this one? it looks utter crap! have you ever seen one driving round which dosent have honda garage stickers or red plates on it which people are test driving, seen more 1007's then i have these!

I don't like it

There is still hope though, because this isn't actually the finished product.

But as it stands, I'd sooner have the old CTR over this any day.

Not impressed

Is definately taken design to the next level this. I do quite like the front, but the rear.......

If you remember though a few years ago, Renault started making cars with BIG rear ends and now they don't look so out of place!

Hopefully before release, Honda may try and make the rear a little less messy!

I believe your right Si about the Type - RR. Will be pretty much a car for track day use only!

It's cool, I like it a lot.

There are too many generic mid-size hatchbacks out there, it's refreshing to see a company have the guts to do something different.

I think the new civic's are well nice, you wanna see the interior - absolutly amazing, everything is digital - amazing.

the back lets it down abit, but they are still well good
