Vooth 2nd Gear February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 the civic seems to have taken design cues from the jdm honda accord, i think its very nice indeed only problem is that the interior is now too small, i'm not very tall but once i've adjusted the driver's seat to my preference, my bf can't sit at the rear comfortably Your bum must be damn perky ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben5266 Supercharged February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 Crisis aside, the new civic is really unimpressive.... Maybe it is a marketing drive to clear YOM2009 Civic... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayspiderx 3rd Gear February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 Went down to check out honda collection and found they r selling mostly 2009/2010; the quality of leather use seems like cheap local fitted and no more factory fitted like before. The sales person even got cheek to say out loud that they have no cars to sell liao... really sympathize KM... they use to have 5 to 6 youthful female sales on the floor daily and now only left three low morale uncle... Worse is mazda with their new showroom next door. Checked their 2010 mazda 6 and spot rust all round door hinge and tachometer twitching uncontrollably...

Friendstar Supercharged February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 I beg to differ. No matter how much botox Toyota pumped into Altis, it still cannot shed the 'woody' look and label. The 8th generation Civic design and body contour is hard to match at the same grade especially the FD2 version with the rear LED. Hello?!? I'm comparing the new civic 9th gen with the FL altis.

Civic6228 6th Gear February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 (edited) Looks like Kah will go out of business if they still persist on premium price on Honda.. Please go and do some reserch before commenting on whether there is a huge premium that KM put on their cars.... the information are available on onemotoring ..... you are not making a fair statement here. Honda cars are more expensive due to teh higher OMV. A VW Jetta has a much better margin for VCS compared to a Civic for KM.

13177 Supersonic February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 I do feel that FL altis looks nicer than new civic. I'm quite impressed with FL altis actually Is the FL altis refer to the altis which comes with dual vvti? I saw the pictures of the new civic, if compared with the previous gen civic really cannot make it. But afterall if you are hardcore fans of civic, i would think this civic design afterall still not that bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon5 5th Gear February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 sad to say in my view, honda shd introduce a turbo variant. yes that wil shift slightly their stubborn stance on the NA vtec. but looking at their pricing, they hv to understand now their competitors are no longer mitsu or toyota jap but the contis. u need something to beat them at their game.

TURBOANG1273 Neutral Newbie February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 (edited) I also went to Kah motor take alook at NEW Civic, seem like it become more mature than sporty as last time model.. Edited February 3, 2012 by TURBOANG1273 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptronic Supercharged February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 We already saw on TV how their research facilities and assembly lines were affected, they barely got back on their feet. I mean what kind of advancement(tech) is TS expecting in such a short time? Is Civic not made in Japan exclusively? R&D should also be in Japan right?

Civic6228 6th Gear February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 VW champion meh? I tot is BMW in 2011? 2012 will either be BMW again or Benz. Likely to be BMW again as they are launching the new 3 series (F30) now .... the 3 series is their volume seller ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 Game over. Some more got the cheek to say On Indent Basis. Looks like VW will be 2012- champion again? Even game over for honda also due to the high COE price which shift people to go buy VW and conti cars. Nothing much to do with the design of the new civic. If COE price still like last time super low, i think this new civic still will sell quite well la. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roh96 6th Gear February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 In this COE climate, only the rich ones will go out to shop for car, and they will usually shop for conti brand. Look at those AD for jap car, they are all struggling for business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugen85 1st Gear February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 Heard from SHC that the new FB series Civic received quite a number of orders already. Not sure whether it's credible thou. I guess the current design may no longer appeal to many young hearts out there but still, many uncles looking for a reliable jap car will still consider it. The futuristic interior design will be a plus factor for the uncles. The "ugly" (previous generation camry butt) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
