  1. Randomly stumbled upon the "Chevy Volt." Did Chevy steal the look of our Civic???

    I think the comparison is with the previous gen civic - the humor being that the 9th gen was roundly panned for being bland, or so I interpret.
  2. 2017 Civic Hatchback (US market) spy pics

    I feel the same, though I think the Coupe's got the best back. Unfortunately, I'm not in the market for a Coupe. Could be the white, could be the angle as the Hatch is driving up the platform, but in this new shot that Hatch's back definitely makes me think of a full diaper. We'll see how it...
  3. 2017 Civic Hatchback (US market) spy pics

    Not my post to answer, but I think the big deal ("#OhS#ITOhSH!TOh5HIT!") is that they are being loaded on for their trans-Atlantic journey. Regarding the lane change camera, xm, et al in the following paragraph, while there have been no details released about specific trim packages. There has...
  4. 2017 Civic Hatchback (US market) spy pics

    Well, I guess White is not a color option for me - those things stand out too much. Modern Steel is now looking more and more realistic. It's a budget vehicle, so *fake* something is a given on a model trying to look sporty, I just think you try to limit the *fake to a degree you can make it...
  5. Say is isn't so...

    So if you actually bought one, then got rid of it 3 weeks later, wouldn't that make YOU the canarie down the mine, wasting his money? I'm going to bow out now because it's not worth my time, or others. Go ahead and get the last word in .... now...
  6. Say is isn't so...

    To be clear - the thread is about 2017's.... if YOU in fact go back and read the thread, you'll see it's ME who brings up the Hatchbacks in the second post. You must be a Einstein's research fellow!
  7. Say is isn't so...

    I just don't get this at all. "... would NEVER buy one [first model year]... just plain stupid," said the guy citing a 2016 Touring Coupe in his bio. And in a thread topic specifically about 2017's - the second model year.
  8. 2017 Civic Hatchback U.S. Model Lineup Revealed, Including Sport Model

    I guess it seems strange in a way, but I don't doubt they are being loaded and on their way as reported. I think we're just existing in a bit of a bubble. I want that bubble to burst though, and to see pics and read about a civic hatch 6mt optioned exactly how I'd like. I'd also like to read...
  9. Say is isn't so...

    That's what I have been generally planning on, say late Oct.-mid Nov. I'd love the Hatches to arrive earlier, though.
  10. 2017 Civic Hatchback U.S. Model Lineup Revealed, Including Sport Model

    All hatches are 1.5T. The duplicate descriptions likely reflect 6MT vs CVT, as both the LX and Sport have previously been cited as the trim levels to get MT while in this list both the LX and Sport have two entries. What I really want is the detailed description of the Sport - I can guess...
  11. 2017 Civic Hatchback (US market) spy pics

    Out of curiosity - how do you think the "1st Model Year blues" issues some people are experiencing will effect the Hatchback? Of course the hatchback will be in its 1st production cycle in a different facility. But are many of the issues some have experienced "Civic Platform" issues that...
  12. 2017 Rumor: Side view camera to be replaced with blind spot warning system.

    In a perfect world, yes. But in crazy highway traffic, with crazy people merging over multiple lanes I can see the use of a wider angle. Similarly on congested city streets where cars in adjacent lanes, exiting parking structures, exiting parallel parking spots are all jockeying for valuable...
  13. Unofficial Civic Hatchback Trim Level List

    Yes, but that all important (to some) MT designation is not present. So while the EX Hatch and the EXT may both be turbos, the list above does designate MT in LX and Sport, but not EX. So going by that list - which is of course presuming a bit at this point - the EX trim level hatch would not...
  14. Unofficial Civic Hatchback Trim Level List

    Thinking about it, I'd add push-button start to that list. Just because I want an MT doesn't mean I'm a caveman.
  15. CVT transmission any good/bad?

    Fear not, there's life after transmission trouble. It was such a tough call for me at the time (fix or ditch), but years later I'd advise younger me to make the fix call in a heart beat. I got WAY more value out of that $3,000 repair than I would have calling it quits, but every person's...
  16. Unofficial Civic Hatchback Trim Level List

    I hope the at least one MT option (Sport, I guess) offers sunroof and good rims. Everything else I can pass or deal with myself.
  17. CVT transmission any good/bad?

    My '00 Accord V-6 (I bought it new) needed a replacement transmission at about 120,000 miles. The trade in value, similarly, was $500 due to the transmission. Cost to replace transmission, I think, was $3000. Wasn't happy then and almost unloaded the car, but I'm happy now that I paid for the...
  18. Replacing the cloth center console/armrest with leather?

    Don't know about that. I don't like leather seats for a number of reasons while I do like the idea of leather armrests. Fabric seats and leather armrests makes perfects sense to me. You've got a very charitable outlook toward others.
