Some pics of the upcomng Civic 5door hatchback

Yeah, after the Si it will come in late 2002 or soon 2003 the 5door hatchbak to face the Focus ZX5 and I don´t know what else.

Are the headlights bigger than the wheels??
Is it taller than the Toyota Echo or as tall as the Mazda MPV?

Certainly.

Ok. Maybe the back doesn´t looks bad at all. Specially if you put on some Sport 17¨ wheels and lower down the suspension by 5¨

Here's my version...what do you think?!?!?!!?

:D

We already have this car in Europe, and I don't like it. I think the car targets a different area off buyers than are on this site. This car is build for the family men/women with a couple off kids in the back... and I think for those persons, the car is great.

i think it will look ok lowered and rimmed up but otherwise i wo
uldnt buy it

it looks ok, but i dont like wagons...it looks just like the 97 accord wagon...too much of a family car for my taste:frog:

Those mods are great! By putting a sportier version of the Odyssey´s front grid and greater headlights, lowered suspension and tinted glasses it really looks sporty. Otherwise I wouldn´t buy it either. Check out this 307 :p

THANKS!!!!! :D :) :D

im glad theres gonna be a civic wagon again wagons are the coolest vehicles! u people wouldnt beleive how much fun is is to whoop peoples asses in a 4cylinder wagon! u can play on peoples stereotypes so much its just so much more fun than racing a car with a trunk. plus... when u get a 4 door youre getting ripped off cuz they didnt put the top on the back for ya.

Looking for something more exiting than Ford Focus or a too family-for Honda Civic 5door? This is your pic. I don´t think is not too hard to guess what brand it is, since it doesn´t have the badges on it.

Another let down :(

Looks like a f**kin' mini - mini van :rolleyes:

thats exactly what i have been telling people

I like the 5 door hatchback layout. 2/3rd of the functionality of a station wagon, room for your tall friends in the back, with the handling of a coupe. I am encouraged to see it finally being accepted byAmerican consumers. Its a good, compact configuration to turn into a pocket rocket that you can live with (Mazda Protoge5 comes to mind). Honda, as it almost always does, is playing it safe on styling, but that's their marketing pitch (reliable).

It may not look wild, but I am amazed at how dignified my civic looks in a parking lot. (When its clean, at least.)

For my money, the hatchbacks look better in the Focus/Protoge/Civic lineup than the notchbacks. Honestly, I think the manufacturers could save some money by simply making 5 & 3 door bodys and ignoring the notchbacks, but hatchback still means "cheap" to some American buyers. I think you'll see the industry come around to a more european look in the next decade.

may god have mercy on our souls...

i dont get how a "5 door hatchback" is different thatn a station wagon? its just a short wagon? its still a wagon right? my impreza wagon is 1 inch shorter than a 2 door acura rsx, but i still consider it a wagon, i dont think its different just cuz its short.

A Wagon usually is intented for family purposes, carrying stuffs, or just when a sedan isn´t enough. The 5 door hatchback is suposed to be more sporty and economical (not always) and considerably shorter than a wagon (i.e VW Golf, Ford Focus ZX5, for instance it has less cargo room than a Wagon and it nevers applies as a candidate for regular families (well except the european Civic) :D
But now there´s cars than are half way wagon - hatchback, like the Mazda 323 Protegé.
I strongly think the Impreza Wagon is just that, a Wagon, like the previous one that looked more familiar. :bloated:

i dont know if youve ever driven an impreza wagon, but i think those other cars u mentioned were WAAAY more intended for families than it is...

No I haven´t, what I should have said is that the Impreza Wagon is a SportWagon like the Alfa 156 SportWagon, and I found that combination very interesting as an alternative to sports cars. :)
