There were some really good , and differentiating cosmetic changes in 7th Gen Facelift i.e 2005 Civic Eagle Eye ..
8th Gen's Facelift was not a big change , same shaped Lights both front and rear just some change inside i.e octagonal taillights !
Here the situation is different . Ppl were happily buying 8th Gen wch is not the case here and after the launch of 11th Gen corolla it will def suffer more badly so facelift is a must , and facelift has some good noticeable changes just like Eagle eye civic in 2005
