If there were any pictures in the OP...
...then all I can say is Hotlink Fail. EDIT: It does look like a mix of the Scirocco and the current Civic. But that's not anything bad, since both are good-looking cars. Only slight changes, plus pumping up the VTEC in the Type-R to 9k rpm and you've got a winner.

I'd consider that if build quality from Swindon would be up to par. The thin paint especially is an industry joke (70μ!!).
No squeaks and lakes of water in the door this time and it's a winner. And this model even has a rear window wiper! |

I love it and I WANT!
![]() I love the look of the Sirocco, and since we won't be getting it in the US, I want this! If it looks anything like the renders it just moved to the top of my list.

My first reaction was "Ugh!" Then I looked at it some more and it looks ok. I swear though the front looks an awful lot like Peugeot.

I actually quite like this. I thought the looks of the current model would grow on me but they never did. Having said that though I really don't like the 'cyclops' taillights if they change those I think the back will go from plain weird looking to just a bit odd.

Headlights and front end are too...."trendy." Looks better than the current model though I think.

I sense some S2000 DNA at the front, which is good. Back end is a bit too square, but it needs to be for practicality.
If the production model looks anything close to that, it will sell very well.

Looks fantastic - not sure about the taillights, but overall I like it, a whole lot.

It doesn't seem like an improvement over the current design. I know it's just specuilation, but it looks a lot like the VW Scirocco.

It actually reminds me more of the Honda s2000. So who copied who?

Auto Express photoshops are about as reliable as....

"These exclusive shots show how the next car will look when it hits the showroom in 2010"
those aren't renderings, but real shots unfortunately, at least they say so I don't like it, looks too much like the IROC Concept but I didn't like the current generation when it was first revealed, and now I think it looks brilliant |
