looks more of a rendered image on Photoshop. Look at that front grille, seems like some one drew it in MS Paint.

lol@ 24 lacs!

Car isnt even launched and we are speculating the price.

When the Corolla was launched in 2001, by looking at its brochure and its mighty body and grand looks, i was sure it will start from 11 lacs or more. But then i came to know that the lousy XLi costed 7.85 lacs!!

[mubeenshahid]

Old one already costs good 20.5 lakhs with navigation and whenever a cars launches in pakistan of new model the price gets increase about 2-4 lakhs.So you can already estimate

Grand looks? What?

Nice sense of humor.

My bad actually, I forgot how the Civic and Corolla lie in the "elite and luxurious" segment in Pakistan.

You do understand the market and circumstances in Pakistan right?

In a price we get a Civic, you can get a fully spec Accord there in US.
In a price we get a Camry you can get a W221 S500/550.

So you can get the idea now. And yeah "POOR US"

I am not a fan of new Civic. I think it is a very conservative version of outgoing Civic. Honda has played it very safe with the design of new Civic. It's an evolution of 8th Gen but a very boring one.

But i can understand Honda has done it. When 8th Gen Civic came out, its design wasn't very well received for quite long time(like 1-2 years) especially in US. I am sure all have heard on auto forums people saying 'new Civic looks like a spaceship' 'new Civic = batmobile'...etc.

Especially interior design was hard to swallow for both new buyers and Honda fans who were used to their simple looking Hondas. In many ways it is same story repeating as with BMW. BMW fans were used to their simple and effortless looking BMWs but then came the 2001 BMW 7 Series design by Chris Bangle and gave a big shock to all especially fans. No doubt Bangle designed BMWs sold well but designs were very polarizing and controversial so for current generation BMW are taking far less risk. Look at new 7, 6 Series, X3. They are conservative evolutions of their respective predecessors.

No doubt design of 8th Gen was ahead of it's time. And that is the thing i loved about the Civic. 8th Gen was so ahead of the competition. But now story is different. Honda has taken far less risk and their new car isn't very special, isn't very different from the rivals, there isn't any significant improvement or innovation so there is bound to be criticism. Reality is others like Hyundai, Ford, GM are raising their game but Honda hasn't.

Interior looks same, Engine is same and guess what same old now outdated 5 speed Auto gearbox. New Civic has become jack of all trades and master of none. This philisophy is strictly very unHonda like who always excelled AT LEAST in one department compared to competition. Performance or Fuel Efficiency or handling. But new 9th Gen Civic is a bencmark in no measurable department.

But it is a Honda so it will sell. Sell on past reputation. But this 'resting on their laurels' attitude won't last long as competition is very fierce.
Excuse me for the long post, but these are honest words from a very passionate Honda fan.
