That looks like it's modeled after alot of the custom interior/dash jobs we've all seen in the past.
Me too. It looks kinda 'Elise-ish'.Quote:

My first reaction was horror, but I think it might grow on me, just have to see. I defniitely like the large screen nav system.

The Elise interior, I think, is more business like.
Exactly. The super-modern look takes a bit to catch on with me. The Elise is really down-to-earth.Quote:

A hot hatch with an 8,000 rpm limit, nice nav (for that extra bling!) and a cool but not over-the-top interior? If they'd just fix the wrong wheel drive thing, I might be tempted...
No arguments there. Regardless of style, the Civic has always been (and will apparently continue to be) a nice, cost-effective ride.Quote:

Very Star Trek....There is something about that steering wheel I don't like...maybe the silver surrounding it..other than that it's cool.http://www.presence-pc.com/images/spok.jpg
The Steering wheel with Silver has already been done by Honda.Quote:

Im not too crazy about the 2 tier gauge setup, seems very unsportscar like, it might get pretty annoying, unless your just driving it to the grocery store. But its different, & thats what Honda likes to do.
Rest of the car is very nice, aside from being bigger of course. Ill test drive one when they come out, but I doubt that I would ever buy one. The other day out of nowhere my wife told me she saw a Mitsubishi Evo & thought it would be a nice kid hauler a few years down the road :shock: Man, im lucky :thumleft: If only I could afford one...
You know, the more I look at it -- especailly the "toned down" version right above, the more I like it. The big tack is pretty sweet, and using a small digital speedo was a nice way of giving it a "race" look (big tach, no speedo) while still giving you what you need for the street.
The big difference for me is the analog tach.
I may have to eat my words. Doesn't look so bad!
Chuck
Yeah, and I'd be willing to bet having that small digital speedo well above the "normal" dashboard is Honda's way of making it act as a "TCB" Head Up Display. Your eye doesn't have to drop so far to see your speed. I agree that it might get annoying, but it's an interesting concept. And as they left the most important gauge alone -- actually making it the "center of attention" on the dashboard, just like Porsche does -- I think I'd be OK with the design.Quote:
