I mean, we're receiving them bit by bit, and they all seem to be the exact same car (the 1.8 litre model). Could it be an elaborate plan by Honda Malaysia to market the Civic by releasing these shots to the public and calling them spyshots in order to stir up market interest? If it us true, then admitedly, it worked, hahah!!! Anyway, would've seriously considered the Civic anyway, even without all the spyshots. It is a nicely made car. Perhaps you guys wanna see the crash test videos for the Civic here (but Malaysia won't get the rear curtain bags here): http://www.autobytel.com/content/research/channels/index.cfm/channel/cartv_video/action/showvideo/vid/cr_0040/vscat/NULL/vcat/Feature/pagenum/1/MAKE_VCH/Honda/MODEL_VCH/Civic I’m beginning to wonder whether these photos were really spyshots?

It's definite a gem. When I saw it the other morning when I was walking along the road to work, it just zoom pass me. Didn't have time to take a photo.

I actually tried the C4 and the response felt more than a 1.6l engine. Also has tiptronic and intelligent gearbox so I guess it helps. Of course, Honda engines are legendary and well known for power and economy. But nowadays, with safety being a rising criteria among car buyers, it seems the European manufacturers are placing more emphasis than their Japanese counterparts. Mybe SIRIM should have a safety rating of their own? Then Proton and Perodua would have to improve their standards. By the way, did you see the newspapers today featuring the smashed Unser? It doesn't even look like a car/suv anymore. Sorry to digress. Forgot about the engine capacity. I actually tried the C4 and the response felt more than a 1.6l engine.

I actually like the Citroen C4. Very high tech interior and a very nicely designed exterior. Also has 6 airbags. Priced around RM125k. If new Civic price is higher, then better go for the Citroen. Although Citroen has lousy second-hand value, it's still a nice car to drive. Can't wait to see the new Civic. Any idea how much it’ll cost?
