In my humble opinion, the 2016 Honda Civic trails competitors like the Ford Focus and Mazda 3 in the looks department. It does somewhat make up for that by channelling the 2017 Volvo S90 in its tail light design, which on the road looks like a pair of angry post-apocalyptic crab claws when illuminated. That’s got to be worth something, right?

It’s got nothing on the “wrong way” signals on the Edsel wagon.
-
The thing that strikes me about the new Civics is how large they are.
-
It’s been too long since I’ve seen a detailed analysis of model bloat.
-
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the 1st-Civic vs. latest-Civic comparison made this E-body vs. LC/LA-platform Challenger comparison look reasonably restrained…

Agreed. Honda (including Acura here) seems to not worry so much about product overlap.
-
The new civic coupe looks larger than a nineties accord coupe.

I saw one of each other parked next to each other a while back, and you’re actually quite right. I tried explaining it to my wife, but she just didn’t quite get the same laugh out of it that I did.

Driving down to Mexico on Christmas Day, somewhere after The Grapevine, starting to feel the fatigue…
All of a sudden, Evil Bunny.

I seriously had to ask Honey Bunny (resident bunny expert) if the red Mazda 2 ahead of us looked like an Evil Bunny. She agreed.-
Evidently, Jason over at Jalopnik sees bunnies in Mazdas, too (see what I did there?) http://jalopnik.com/dammit-i-cant-stop-seeing-bunnies-in-the-2016-mazda-mi-1630360337

I love his writing. He’s the primary reason I still read anything over there.

Side effect of being substantially through a Buffy the Vampire Slayer bingewatch: I can’t parse the concept of evil bunnies without thinking of this…

The newest generation of MB Citaro busses has Tetris rearlights. I want to stack the LEDs to fit better…best photo I found:

There are a couple of Motörhead-fans here? Oslo town hall honouring Lemmy:

The new Civics (not a half bad name for a band, now that I think of it) have a bit f Accord Crosstour in them. Am I the only one that doesn’t hate the Crosstour?
-
The Crosstour doesn’t really bug me.
-
No. A neighbor has a sort of purplish-rose color one that’s really quite handsome. The black ones also have a lot of presence. I don’t foresee being in the market for something that big, but I wonder how resale values will hold up. I haven’t seen a new Civic yet, but if it’s got Crosstour styling hints that’s not a bad thing.

Did someone say “angry postapocalyptic crab”?
