and what a mess the rear lights are. The shape is nice but the actual unit looks random and over-complicated.

Also, look at the crease that comes vertically from the rear lights. It looks stupid.

Overall it does look good with exception to what I mentioned. As a facelift this would be fine, but a new gen model? C'mon...

Doesn't the back of the wagon look like a Sonata?

Oh yeah! I guess it does. I think the wagon looks more flowing than the sedan version. It doesnt look as random. I think the wagon would look better with the sedan rear lights though.

when you say it like that...damn, just look at it!

Reminds me of the Civic's interior. So full of random shapes, lines and BUTTONS!

That's what I hate. I hate when companies dont try to evolve their models. Every Honda/Nissan/Hyundai I see it completely different. Swap all the badges around and put a Nissan badge on the new Accord and I wouldnt know the difference! (okay maybe that was a little extreme but you know what I mean).

I think getting a good mix between moving forward and keeping heritage isnt something a lot of manufacturers pull off. At the moment BMW, Merc and Audi do that. They all have their ups and downs though. I'm not loyal to any one of the 3.

I have to say, that interior made me completely jealous when I drove an '06 Civic coupe haha.

Exactly. The germans seem to have their brand recognition down pat, especially Porsche (whether that's a good thing or not if you know what I mean). Japanese cars tend to change to drastically.
