2016 Honda Civic COUPE Preview Event - CivicX Live Coverage

Man that is one sweet car. So is it worth paying extra 4 k get nice rims, stereo, honda sensing, navigation, leds? Ugh what are u doing to me honda?

I love the glossy piano black trim framing the boomerang lights. Shexy!

man that is one short-ass trunk lid....

Ok, I quick chopped the Touring wheels to it...

gtman, could you chop in some decent looking aftermarket wheels?? I am not liking any of the current Honda alloys...except maybe the Accord HFP 19's...it just seems Honda has adopted a much cheaper way of making wheels..

Very nice. I have to agree that the sedan and coupe both look really good. From the front they appear to be virtually identical. They did a nice job on the back of the coupe with the shortened rear end and the distinctive rear lights. I also like the black trim on the bottom of the rear bumper - at least with this blue it makes the rear look less heavy and more sporty than the sedan. The profile is really attractive. Also like the more sporty touches on the interior like the two tone grey seats (wonder if they will do that with the black ones?) and the silver door handles. From the photos it looks like there is an amazing amount of space in the rear seats - seems real humans could fit back there. They might have to not be too tall though with that roofline.

Well done Honda. Now lets see what the hatchback and the sporty editions look like!

Gtman thanks for doing this. I like the accessory rims the best on coupe. Looks aggressive

I love the profile shot. That looks awesome, the shortened rear overhang makes a huge difference.

x2.

Not bad at all, I really like it actually. I'm waiting on the Si and then will have to decide between the coupe and sedan then I guess. I have always preferred fast 4 doors but this coupe looks good and I never have rear seat passengers anyway. I'll consider this more fully when I can see both as I can buy whichever I want I suppose.


To Honda - Great job! Now with that said WTH on the wheels lol. The accessory wheels are better I guess but there is something wrong with the look, they are close to being alright but the extra point in the spoke, or the silver not going around, something is just not quite right. Touring wheels good job, the rest not so much. I think you guys did a great job overall (I can nitpick anything) but the wheel design guys need some fresh input in that department. They just don't quite go with the overall car design but that has been true of several Honda wheel designs lately. I'm within 1 hour of the US Civic plant and available for design workshops or customer feedback on stuff while still in the design phase at any time. Seriously, will sign NDA that tosses me in jail for talking no problem. Also, the little turbo sticker on the Canadian versions, very cool. Does the US not appreciate these or something?

Also, I really appreciate the focus you guys have had on this car as it shows. I cannot wait to see that focus for detail turned loose on other vehicles like the upcoming FMC Accord and man the HR-V could use some of this attention too. (I own one and like it but the new Civic is literally worlds better)

Omg I just licked my Tablet...

I also really appreciate the 60/40 split in the rear seats (the singular pull-down back in the Accord coupe bugs me).

I am really excited now. I do have to say that for the sedan those rims aRe almost adequate. For a coupe not so much. I am still waiting on an awesome looking 8 dcT awesome rims spoiler and little body kit and a 220 hp turbo for 26500 manual at 25500 but I will take an ext if I must ha

How's this?

Is it just me or does this car not look like it has quite the "bubble butt" as the leaked photos?

Also loving the spoiler on this, so much better than the sedan and I'm pretty sure it's mostly due to the light being integrated into the trunk instead of the spoiler.

Just wish Honda did not have as ugly of stock rims other than the touring. The upgraded ones in the photo look pretty nice, but kind of a steep price especially when they nailed everything else.

Yeah man, that looks better to me, thanks!

I'm so used to picking out wheel styles for older cars I have no idea what'll look good on the CivicX. I think CivicX is gonna look good slightly lowered on aftermarket rims with chrome blackout!
