Very disappointing, the rear end on the concept was the showpiece for the styling, and they put the regular hatch back end with a pram handle on it. It looks tacky all round, the alloys look like a home DIY refurb special.
I will write it off as another disaster under Ito's leadership. Honda of old under proper management would have put the concept rear into production.

So they scrapped all the cool stuff and made it look as crap as 9g ??
Where is this back gone ??
Where are bonnet vents ?? Fender vents ?? Wheels ??
Poor effort honda in my eyes
Now Focus RS is clear winner

Yep, i think I would have Focus RS over it, after all what is special or different about this Civic, all these hot hatches are pretty much the same these days, this new CTR will just be an overpriced British Leyland Civic, the Focus will be cheaper probably and is AWD.
That's a real shame, as much as the BGW was totally OTT it was basically the showpiece of the whole car. They've change the diffuser and wings too
Guess you'd need to see the car in real life but it just looks like the usual fugly 9th Gen civic with bolt on tat.

Wow. What went wrong Honda? From the original EK9, to the EP3, to the FN2, to that. They have genuinely got worse every gen.
You would have to be mental to choose this over the Focus.

spot on really.

There was a spec sheet going around for a normal/premium model. Maybe the premium model consists of the concept parts. We will have to wait till geneva to find out.
Yep. The current gen Civic looks awful but the concept looked amazing. The white one above? Not so much...
If that is the final look and the performance/price etc is similar to others (M135i, R, S3, RS) then this will end up being a massive fail.

Yeah that looks crap compared to the concept
Saw it in the metal at Goodwood last year and it looks menacing, this... not so much.

Das ist ugly..So...
That concept was alright, why do those newer civic's look like space ships is the thing that bothers me...So they scrapped all the cool stuff and made it look as crap as 9g ??

That actual spoiler looks so tacky and cheap.
What really has annoyed me is their crazy promotion of the concept, from lots of pictures and videos. They then give us this tat.

Well they have really screwed that up. 30k car looking like a badly modded Ripspeed job. Straight to BarryBoys for you.
