Default European Civic

Sorry if repost:

I was lucky to go to Europe on holidays and found out that they have a different Civic.



What do you think about the design?

I think is not so "cute" on the outside but the interiors are really nice.

That's what i'm talking about.
Type-R is what a friend has and what i was lucky to try back when i went to spain to visit him.
Is just really nice to ride it and also he is crazy enough to do some modifications and gain even more HP.

Americans don't see Small Cars as Premium as the Europeans do. Americans see anything small as "cheap."

IMO, Ford is going to be the ones who change that. We'll see if the Fiesta and Focus are as "good" as the European models.

If these cars win, we should see a redefinition of the Small Car segment. From the look of how the 2012 Civic will look like, Honda is not going that direction.

LOL such a biased statement, Its has been proven and shown that the Uk euro civic is not as good as its Japanese counter part. With its out of date rear torsion beam axle suspension setup
