2006 Honda Civic Sedan and Coupe
Here are shots of the Sedan and Coupe version of the 2006 Honda Civic which I’ve covered previously.
This back design seems to be an evolution of the current Honda City back.
The sedan seems to have become rather Altis-ish. It has the fat body of an Accord, but with a shorter wheel base. And with that white paint, somehow it rather resembles a fat marshmallow to me. Not as sleek as the coupe and hatch models.
The top-end Civic will have a 200-hp K20 4-cylinder engine. This will power the Civic Si and the CRX. Yup, you heard that right. Honda is making a CRX version. Aren’t you rex fans happy?
The K20 i-VTEC will have 16-valves operated by a twin camshaft valvetrain. The K20 will be mated to a six-speed manual, with a LSD differential. Revs go all the way up to 8000rpm.
More spyshots here and here, with clearer views of the front and side of the vehicle.

Why would a coupe, sedan and hatchback version be so all together different? anyway, i think its quite cool… now thats what i call creative design team with very positive minded management that approve on this design… its a honda, nothing less to be expected… but not expecting it to reach our shore anytime soon, or would it be anyway cheap too… no thanks to local cars…

These so called new cars…. I wonder I can live to see this car on the road.. Maybe wait for 40 years.

it’s official…..honda’s design team sold their souls to the devil….and got nothing back in return. The fools.
I guess Honda cars in the future are going to look just as ugly as the Civics in your page Paul. In fact, I have predicted this when I saw the ugly Honda City for the first time..
Good thing I still look good. ;P

[...] First of all, the exterior. The new Honda Accord facelift – which we could call the Accord 7.5 – has a totally new redesigned rear end which made it’s debut in the Japanese Honda Inspire for quite some time already, so it might not be new to some of you. Instead of the long horizontal strips of lights which look like an evolution of the previous 6th gen Honda Accord’s tail lamps, you now get twin triangular headlamps flanking a boot lid which at first glance looks inspired by Mercedes Benz, but this look actually reminds me of an evolution of the 2006 Honda Civic Coupe USDM model’s rear end. The tail lamps are not lit up by LED instead of conventional bulbs. LEDs light up faster than conventional bulbs so it is slightly safer in emergency brake situations. Reverse indicators have been separated from the tail lamp cluster and moved to flank the number plate area. The third brake light has also been integrated onto the boot lid. [...]
