    Uncovered! 2016 Honda Civic

      Someone Caught the Honda Civic with no camouflage

    Someone at Honda is going to be yelled at. An eagle-eyed member of the CivicX forum caught the next-generation Civic parked outside of a building in Ann Arbor, MI.

     

    Compared to the Civic Coupe concept shown at New York, the production sedan retains a number of details such as the fastback shape and bold front end treatment. We have to admit that the Civic is quite the looker.

     

    We'll have more information and pictures when Honda officially introduces the next-generation Civic on Wednesday.

    I remember a Honda Civic when it was  sooooo small, it would have probably fit between the front and back wheels of this 2016 version.

    Also, the side profile reminds me of the side profile of a Nissan Maxima

    And my final thoughts...

     

    I never really liked a Honda Civic...ever.

    Well, that's the concept Maxima, not the production model.

     

    Yeah...its the Nismo I think.

     

    I couldnt find a decent side profile pic of a regular trimmed production Maxima.

    And I was desperate to show some sort of proof as to why I think the way I do...so...Voila! Nismo concept it is.

    Looks ugly, and of course it has "4-door coupe" styling, which every car does not, it is so overdone.   It does look really big, I don't get why these cars keep growing.  Like Ford has made the Focus and Fusion grow to make room for the Fiesta, not the Taurus might be phased out.    So here the Civic is like becoming their new mid-size, if the Accord gets any bigger it will be a full size car, then they'll need a Fit sedan to fill in for where he Civic was 10 years ago.

    FAIL and they say software is bloated, the auto companies are on the 70's-80's attitude of growing every auto, we now have 

     

    AUTO BLOAT!!! :metal:

     

    The Civic needs a diet in the worst way possible along with getting ride of the Metal Mouth front end.

    How can this be?

    So will the Fit grow next too?

     

    Probably. The Spark just did.

    Yup. Every car grows. Except maybe the Miata. But can anybody name a car that has shrunk in the past 5 years? That's just "how it goes".

    No Problem Olds :)

     

    I have always wondered why companies feel the need to grow an auto from one class to another besides the jones jones race of others added a few inches so we must also. Yet then they end up having to introduce a new auto when the existing one no longer fits in that segment and they need one to fit.

     

    We saw how in the 70's and 80's they grew and bloated auto's and ended up having to kill off the car. 

     

    So the new accord grows to become from mid to full size, the civic grows and goes from compact to mid size and the fit goes from subcompact to compact. So what will the new "FIT" subcompact car be?

    Yeah...I was just clicking randomly on the mouse, for fun I guess  :stupid: ..when the pointer drifted on the voting box thingy...

     

    I was trying to find an explanation why manufacturers grow their cars bigger and bigger...and came up with a theory, then I realized all that I was saying was just...jibber jabber :XD:

     

    I have no clue as to why they do...

     

    CCAP's explanation IS the best..."its just how it goes"

     

    I prefer to use the cliché that I ALWAYS use outside of the internets...It is what it is!

    one reason models grow one class or whatever, their original demographic gets older and the class of car grows with it.......

    That would tend to go against marketing then of having customers move up as they grow up themselves from a basic compact to mid size to full size and pay more for more luxury. So I cannot go with the car grows up with the customer.

    • I get the point your making, VW never gelled with me nor the California vibe thing of Surfing and the van. It could be that growing up in the PNW where Conversion GM and Ford full size vans and some Dodge full size vans was a bigger influence on me, especially for the outdoor mountain, backwoods adventure thing as to why the Kia WKNDR gels with me far more than the VW thing. Yes, you and Robert are right in that VW did the van thing far sooner than America did with GM, Ford and Dodge, but then having a full-size van conversion with a full-size bed in it that fit this big guy compared to the cramped mid-size VW noise box was different to me than others. My dad when he married my mom had both a VW Beetle and the Van, they sold both for their first station wagon and drove my sister up to Washington State where they got away from the cement Jungle of the greater LA area and then I was created and lived my life here till after college, moving away and living all over the U.S. Came back to the PNW as the kids were in elementary school as I was wanting to make a career change and wanted family support during the transition. Never left once I entered the Computer Engineering side of life after leaving sales for a better balance of Work / family life. VW is gelling with those that had fond memories of past VW vans / lifestyle, but I am not sure if it will get long life with the younger generation. I already see way too many conversions Mercedes Vans at the mountain pass for ski/snowboard, camping, etc. than I do anything else. I also see a ton of Ford / GM chassis trucks that have been converted into a type of van living RV. Time will tell as to what comes in the 21st century as we move forward with EV's. I will say that if KIA delivers on their Modular PVB, I can see it being very popular with folks that want to change between a pickup and van for family needs. Crazy price, but happy that some rich person paid $3.7 million for the very first 2025 ZR1 Corvette. 2025 Corvette ZR1 VIN 001 Raises $3.7 million for Red Cross at Charity Auction
    • I'm sick and tired of 47's reign and it's only been a week.  Going to be a long 4 years.  For my mental health and sanity I'm trying to avoid any media involving him and his administration.  Just burnt out on politics and the stupidity and uselessness of many Americans....a nation of imbeciles.  
    • Yeah, I don't know how Dave missed pone key thing about the VW. When speaking of the "versatility" of the Kia vs the VW, he forgot one key thing. VW already has a 60 year head start in the 3rd party/aftermarket conversion race. VW minibus's have been on the conversion trip since they first arrived here and that market is actually pretty huge and is in the only thing that qualifies as a "van lifestyle" in this country right now. The things that have done with those is amazing and the new Buzz has already been subject to the aftermarket game.   https://electrek.co/2024/08/08/customizable-campervan-conversions-for-the-vw-id-buzz/   https://www.siestacampers.com/blog/vw-id-buzz   Again, one has to put their preferred brand pom poms down and look at this objectively.
