It sort of looks Mazda3 - ish.

[The General]

With the rear-end of a Daewoo Lanos and some TSX front-end action.

I'm pretty sure this will be the European version and not the N.A. version.

i'm seeing volkswagen corrado, merkur, ? whoa i need a coffee !

[The General]

Corrado!?

I think you need more than coffee. :shock:

The Corrado is muscular while this car is kind of whiny...

[rivsy]

coffee or not i still see some resemblance...of course the last time i saw a corrado was probably 10 years ago...maybe mazda mx3 ?

[The General]

These are Corrados:

Non-stock maybe but...

VW's feel amazing to drive, have incredible vehicle dynamics, but - and it's a big but - they are terribly unreliable, a real shame, considering their prices. Give me Japanese or latest Korean any day.

[The General]

True, true, yes, still expensive and yes.

But like you said, lovely to drive. Just change the car every couple of years...

[R.S.]

Profile reminds me of Prius.

[snoproblem]

Profile reminds me of Prius.

There's a thought. It could be they designed her with a hybrid version in mind. Hence the aerodynamic emphasis in her sheetmetal?

[The General]

That makes tons of sense although the Civic was already quite aerodynamic.

[chelios_24]

That can not be the next generation of the Honda Civic!!!! It`s probably a Honda car that is slated to go into Euorope or something. Does Honda make certain cars for Europe only?

Anyways, I love HONDA but that car is ugly. In my opinion. I see a Ford Focus Hatchback stretched out.

And the rear visibility of this car is going to be terrible. No way! This can`t be next CIVIC!

[The General]

I'm pretty sure we won't see this version on our roads.

What's more is that Canada won't get the SiR for 2005 but the US will...
