Styling: New Civic Hatch VS New Corolla Hatch

Well, what is your preferance. And although it's not on my poll, what about the styling of the new pulsar hatch?

Civic and Corolla are nice but dull for good looking hatches you need the 3O7, Golf, Stilo and Megane (All available in NZ, but I believe the Golf is the only one available in Oz though)

I havnt seen any new hatches I like, theyve ruined the styling of the lot of them.

I dont like any of the hatches in the new Peugeot range
I loved the styling of the 106 and the 306 was really nice as well but the 307 just dont do it for me, its still nicer than the 206 though.

The new civic is petty horrible but its still nicer than the corolla.

3 door hatches reached the pinnacle of their design in the late 90s and theyve been on a downward spiral ever since.

As well as the fact that they are getting heavier and heavier. Look at an early civic, its a small car, the new one cetainly isnt, its bigger than an accord used to be.

:devil: :devil: :devil:

it sucks how..well..accoring to my research..Civic was the first to come out in that style..and then came followed corrola and 307 all with the similar outlook design..sucks..copy cats..dorks:mad:

how could they even think about copying something so ugly..sheesh

they all look like combos of eachother :rolleyes:

Add "they all look like crap" to the poll and I'll vote :)

I like all the other civic shapes apart from the new one

Same here. The new 4 door looks ok actually - usually I hate 4 door cars :)

Its ok, but I still prefer the previous model 4 door. Oh, and I don't mind IntegraF20c's 4 door teg. Plus I like the 92 - 95 shape civic 4 door also. The rest forget it.

yup... Honda has some serious styling issues sometimes :confused:

all Hondas look the same in a rear view mirror:devil:

I don't think I've ever seen a 4 door teg. hmm. Thought they were only 2 door.

There's a 3G 4 door 'teg running around Parramatta, plus there are a lot of 4 door 1G 'tegs... just look for anything badged as a Rover Vitesse... it's actually an integra :p

There is also a 4 door LS model. A grey one I've seen on Hume Hwy

I played dodge the people travelling 10km/h under the limit on the way to Menai today. Still, it gave the steering rack a good workout :)

Majority got out of my way...but some on the F6 down to the gong today had to cut inside. Was sooo annoyed when I went to the gong on thursday for appointment with my solicitor, BMW's and SAABs holding up the freeway.

I love those corners on the f6 though :)

Did you like that coastal drive? View from the tops was great today

Yeah, I nearly went out there but went out through Menai to Cronulla to visit some friends from uni.

It was a close thing as I almost did take the turn-off to the 'gong :)

Always miss turn offs when mum is chatting with me too :p

I take it easy on the smaller streets, usually drive the limit or 10 over.

Only give it a lot on the hwy or those windy roads such as heathcote :hehe:

Trying to be innocent...you did some tailing...although I let it rip a few times to try and catch you offguard :silly2:

Like heathcote rd, at Holsworthy the final roundabout, before you go bush :hehehe:

heheh... and when I'm caught on windy roads behind a 4WD :p

Nah... I knew you were getting as annoyed by it as I was... I opened it right up to 8000rpm as I went past him :p

Was that the one you were caught behind, coming back from Stanwell?

Man...I slowed down to less than 60 waiting for you, cause he held you up so much.

yeah, that's the one... he was doing 55 and I was getting seriously p'd off at him... and at the kids making turning around and making faces out of the windows :rolleyes:

First opportunity and I zipped out... I think I did most of that part in 2nd

He was probably doing it on purpose :p

Hell, I've been known to do it if the car behind me has the driver fuming behind the wheel :devil:

HAHA....I did it to a Camry the other day :hehehe:

It tried to race me at the lights, so I blew it away. the next set of lights, I was driving normally, and then he gave the camry a bit, so I thought fine, passed him on second, and he tailed me for about the next 5 minutes, so I slowed down to exactly 60 :hehehe:

Fav line:

"Can you go slower?"

"Yes... just watch me" :devil:

I always make special exceptions for camrys :silly2:

I have one of the new corolla's now, and let me tell you i think it is way better than the new civic, in my opinion the shape of the new corolla is more closer to the audi A3 than the civic.... I must say I am pretty impressed with the new toyota corolla and this is coming from me after owning my rexy....

At the end of the day, most small hatch back's go pretty much the same, give or take a little power :)

LOL. ITRs are the real standout as far as small hatches are concerned (yes they are small - they have the same wheelbase as my Civic :p ).

I agree about the Corolla - the Civic is just too ugly - a look Honda seems to be repeating with most of the current generation. The first example of things going wrong was the Prelude - I still don't like the last one.
