Civic Disobedience



The latest generation of the Honda Civic has been controversial since it was born. Many of the fans of the hot-hatch were disappointed by it's wedgy and short front overhang, and thought it looked like a minivan. I felt this way at first, but I grew to like the car.

However, in trying to spark the interest of the current speed-racer crowd, they then updated the look with what I think are the most awkward looking projector beam headlights in the world. Sure they're brighter, but they're fugging hideous. And the new "Euro" tails aren't much to look at either. Why must all Japanese companies make some form of clear lense taillights? Some look ok, but most look cheap and ugly.
