    Uncovered! 2016 Honda Civic

      Someone Caught the Honda Civic with no camouflage

    Someone at Honda is going to be yelled at. An eagle-eyed member of the CivicX forum caught the next-generation Civic parked outside of a building in Ann Arbor, MI.

     

    Compared to the Civic Coupe concept shown at New York, the production sedan retains a number of details such as the fastback shape and bold front end treatment. We have to admit that the Civic is quite the looker.

     

    We'll have more information and pictures when Honda officially introduces the next-generation Civic on Wednesday.

    I remember a Honda Civic when it was  sooooo small, it would have probably fit between the front and back wheels of this 2016 version.

    Also, the side profile reminds me of the side profile of a Nissan Maxima

    And my final thoughts...

     

    I never really liked a Honda Civic...ever.

    Well, that's the concept Maxima, not the production model.

     

    Yeah...its the Nismo I think.

     

    I couldnt find a decent side profile pic of a regular trimmed production Maxima.

    And I was desperate to show some sort of proof as to why I think the way I do...so...Voila! Nismo concept it is.

    Looks ugly, and of course it has "4-door coupe" styling, which every car does not, it is so overdone.   It does look really big, I don't get why these cars keep growing.  Like Ford has made the Focus and Fusion grow to make room for the Fiesta, not the Taurus might be phased out.    So here the Civic is like becoming their new mid-size, if the Accord gets any bigger it will be a full size car, then they'll need a Fit sedan to fill in for where he Civic was 10 years ago.

    FAIL and they say software is bloated, the auto companies are on the 70's-80's attitude of growing every auto, we now have 

     

    AUTO BLOAT!!! :metal:

     

    The Civic needs a diet in the worst way possible along with getting ride of the Metal Mouth front end.

    How can this be?

    So will the Fit grow next too?

     

    Probably. The Spark just did.

    Yup. Every car grows. Except maybe the Miata. But can anybody name a car that has shrunk in the past 5 years? That's just "how it goes".

    No Problem Olds :)

     

    I have always wondered why companies feel the need to grow an auto from one class to another besides the jones jones race of others added a few inches so we must also. Yet then they end up having to introduce a new auto when the existing one no longer fits in that segment and they need one to fit.

     

    We saw how in the 70's and 80's they grew and bloated auto's and ended up having to kill off the car. 

     

    So the new accord grows to become from mid to full size, the civic grows and goes from compact to mid size and the fit goes from subcompact to compact. So what will the new "FIT" subcompact car be?

    Yeah...I was just clicking randomly on the mouse, for fun I guess  :stupid: ..when the pointer drifted on the voting box thingy...

     

    I was trying to find an explanation why manufacturers grow their cars bigger and bigger...and came up with a theory, then I realized all that I was saying was just...jibber jabber :XD:

     

    I have no clue as to why they do...

     

    CCAP's explanation IS the best..."its just how it goes"

     

    I prefer to use the cliché that I ALWAYS use outside of the internets...It is what it is!

    one reason models grow one class or whatever, their original demographic gets older and the class of car grows with it.......

    That would tend to go against marketing then of having customers move up as they grow up themselves from a basic compact to mid size to full size and pay more for more luxury. So I cannot go with the car grows up with the customer.

      Ford News: Ford Unveils its new Universal Vehicle Platform

      By oldshurst442 · Posted

      I agree. And I understand what you wrote about no mandate needed.  EVs will turn that tipping point in due time. Shortly. And like you said, Chinese EVs will be the ones to do it.  I included that tidbit ONLY because most Americans STILL cant get off the oil addiction they have.  GM has mentioned that they are going along with the 2035 timeline.  But since Trump has alienated America from its allies, GM will try to delay 2035.  Like Dodge though, V8s and turbocharged lawn mower sized engines in CUVs will only get you so much.  The rest of the world is strumming along with the 2035-2040 timeline regardless what the Chinese automotive industry is doing.  I used 2035 as a visual as that is only 9 years away...    Dodge announcing the Durango only gets V8 offerings and is ditching the 6 cylinder offerings, and some Americans declare a win for the internal combustion engine...missing the real problems for the American automotive industry.   Like you said, but with my angle, 2035 is a short 9 years away to stress a point.  What you said about no mandate needed as EVs will tip the point probably before 2035.  But in America, your folk lack critical thinking skills and do not realize what you said, thinking that  a Hellcat powered 15 year old SUV is a saviour for the internal combustion engine and everything else is misinformation.

      There is no need for an EV mandate or regulation saying no ICE after 2035 or 2040 or whatever date.   What will happen is China will build a Rav4 like crossover that is more reliable than a Rav4, costs less to maintain, has a longer warranty, has more horsepower, smoother and quieter motor due to being EV and it will cost $10,000 less than a Rav4.   And at that point, no one will want a gas Rav4 and ICE dies for mass market cars.   Some sports cars and enthusiasts cars will have ICE engines, long haul trucks will probably be diesel.  There are use cases where gas or diesel make sense, but it might be 10-20% of the market.

      Lets be honest in setting the blame where it belongs, IDIOT47 and the 1% crowd that is only more than happy to do illegal pay offs to get billion dollar deals done. Example is the Paramount deal! We are in the Decade of Criminal Pay to Play mode! Paramount Merger Approved After $16 Million Trump Settlement

      Sales slowing down 2% for Gen Zers. But a whopping 10% just in Canada alone because of our boycott.  Yeah...like I said, Gen Zers was not enough to cause these bankruptcies.  The Canadian boycott was.  And as I said, American journalism wants to soften the blow as to hush hush how Trump targeted Canada and is losing this battle.  The article states that Europe hasnt levied their tariffs on American booze just yet. But Im willing to bet that Europeans have boycotted American booze anyhow.    When California wine makers, the smaller ones suffer the same fate eventually in 2026, are we gonna blame that on Gen Z as well?  Possibly.  To not blame Trump and his shytty victimhood by engaging economic warfare with the planet...

      I can attest to people not wanting to drink what their parents drink as I love my local Washington State wines and yet my son would rather drink Japanese Wiskey or Bullet Bourbon than drink wine with me.  The largest growth among Gen Z has been with Soju, Korean liquor. That has exploded even in the U.S. in sales. Amazing how many drink it mixed with Korean Beer for a Soju Bomb. Soju is #1 and White Claw is #2 world wide.
