Default 2004 Honda Civic gets new front end.



http://www.msnbc.com/news/944714.asp

I just recieved this weeks Newsweek Magazine in the mail today and found a short article about the new 2004 Honda Civic EX Coupe. This is the first time I heard of this new front end. I personally think the new front end looks a lot better than the current 2001-2003 front. What do you guys think?

New Civics look more Accordish than ever. While I like the headlights and grille, the bumper cover looks like a smiling Cheshire cat.



Nevertheless, it still looks better than 2001-2003 front end.

looks much better but please can the civic get a stronger engine. They need to get on the ball and get a RWD turbo edition 250hp or something close to that.

Looks like a toyota corolla with e honda emblem on it. Seems that they are fallowing other manufacturers. One of the things i always liked about honda is they always had unique body styles. Until now.. I got pissed the other day when some fool at a gas station asked me if my new EP3 was the new focus...

Honda switched to a 5 year model cycle with minor changes 3 years into it. They did that for 6th generation Civics, and apparently will do the same for the 7th.

I like it, looks like they are trying to make it look like the older eg's. I'm glad they are going back to the thin wide headlights unlike the EP3 and DC5 headlights and totally different from those new TSX and TL front ends those are ugly. I'm also happy they didn't make it look like the NEW accords front those are ugly as well

definitly looks better than the 2001-2003 Coupes, those just look all goofy, like mini accords or something, this one looks like it has potential
