2001 Hondas are ugly
Haven't seen anyone mention this, but does anybody else besides me thinks that the 2001s are ugly? On the new Civics, the size of the badge on the grill is too big, the grill is painted chrome (instead of black), the rear lights are awful, the headlights on the new Si is way too big (looks like it takes up half the hood), the chrome accents aren't working (front grill and back plate), the shape of the rear is awful, and the sharp ridges on the sides are just ugh! It's like they tried to make the Civic classier, but it's mostly teens and commuter who buy it. I also feel they may also be trying to copy the Jetta in some aspects, but I don't have solid evidence on that. IMO, Honda should just go for the gold and go after the auto freaks who buy Civics just to tune them. When I first saw the 7th generation Civics, I just though they butchered it up. The rear lights are one of my biggest gripes--my God the coupe looks awful! Reminds me of the Ford Focus.
As for the 2001 Accords, they look great until you see the rear. I think both the coupe and the sedan has awful lights. Why is the coupe's rear so futuristic looking? Isn't the Accord supposed to be the more upscale Honda model. (Look at Toyota, compare the Camry to its lesser models). I also don't like that the sedan's rear lights take up the whole rear. Reminds me of the early 90s accords (which is what I'm driving). I must admit that the lenses they use in the sedan is cool looking--it's so shiny and glittery!

Your right but theyll grow on you like all hondas do.. Ive seen several coupes that have some stuff done to them.. They dont look half bad. but its all a matter of opinion.

Yeah, I must admit, the civic sedan is growing on me. I still don't like, but I hate it less now. I still strongly dislike the other models (civic coupe, accord sedan+coupe).

So I see you guys don't like the 7th gen, well thats too bad. At first it took me a few months to get used to the look of the 2k1. I used to have a 5th gen but sold it so I could buy this car. I am very happy I got this car. The gas mileage is incredible, the car is so smooth, you dont even know it is running. The car rides so nice and has more power than my 94 civic.
The outside of the car is where everyone has there dislikes right? The taillights have grown on me, I like them now. I just hate how everyone with a 2k1 wants altezzaas....Now those are just plain nasty. The front of the car is nice. I like the styling. The grill on my car isnt chrome, or black it is the body color which is silver. The chrome that you are probably talking about is the trim on the sedan, I have a coupe. That is how you can tell the two apart if they are headed towards you. The sedan has chrom trim on its grill and the coupe has body colored trim. The 2k1 is 100% better than previous generation civics, and if you give it a chance and take one for a test drive you too will see how good they are. I know in a few years when they release the 8th gen civic that people arent going to like them either. I remember when the 6th Gen came out, no one liked the big headlamps, they thought it was ugly. It just takes time for the new look to grow on people, and it will.

Wow!
 That Si looks sick. That definitely mad it look a lot better. See, anytime you modify a car, it takes on a whole different attitude. I wouldn't mind owning one of those babies.

Hatcback? Eww!
When I think hatchback, I think the civic. Woo wee! don't get me started on civic-style hatchbacks. To me they look like a miniature touring (sports wagon) with the end chopped off--and when I think touring, I think five doors, I think soccer mom. Europe has a gross fascination with hatches. Touring-style hatches just never appealed to me. Actually, for the longest time I really hated Civics, because all the ones I saw were ugly hatches (and I thought ALL Civics must be hatches). Lo and behold, I saw some nice looking coupes and saloons (sedan), and was shown the error of my Civic hating ways. For some reason, when I think of hatchbacks, I don't think of the Supra, or the 3 series compact, or the Integra, or the Eclipse. But these are technically hatches.

civic type r
Btw, are these coming to the states? I read mostly UK car magazines and I know they're getting it first (since it's manufactured in the UK).

Hondas are just... not ugly... but they have a bad name. Every white kid goes out and gets one and then thinks he can talk about racing... Then there are the people who put some much crap into the car, its pointless. Get a car with balls and doent make it look like a riceburner.:bandit:

that pic of the SI looks a hell of a lot better than the ones ive seen on Honda websites. Maybe its the lowering...... Im still not a big fan of the looks. Those pointy headlights are kinda ugly and its just so....... round. The new rally shifter feature's a nice touch. I wouldnt mind trying that out just to see what its like. Speaking of which what does everyone think about tiptronic? Ive never used but im curious about it.
