All cars are mass produced, as far as I'm concerned. If you say civic X is not "original," can you give an example of a car that's "original" ? Or, are you saying all cars are not "original"? Even very rich people buy cars with exactly the same sheet metal shapes as their fellow extremely...

I'm just complaining about loose terminology. The opposite of "digital" is "analog" not "physical". The opposite of "physical" may be "virtual." Fake analog (digital displays looking like analog gauges) are also digital. Separate gauges like the fuel or temperature based on diodes and...

What is a "full digital dashboard" and why is it so often mentioned? I thought I already have a full digital dashboard, so what is this about?

It's unremarkable. Honda was flooded with "overdone" comments mostly by car magazine types and people who don't buy civics anyway. So now they may get "bland" comments. It looks like anything out there. Interior is probably OK. One clearly good thing is that they allegedly pulled the A...

Pass, I only owned one sedan in my life. Waiting for hatches.

The most striking feature of these patent pictures in comparison to the X is the ever so tight gaps between the panels. They are at a luxury car level! Odd no one mentioned this. They must be getting all new more precise robots to assemble this. People who particularly appreciate narrow...

Not weird at all. I treat the Type R as a promotion for the civic.

So what? This test car was not assembled on any assembly line that the final car would be, so its panel gaps are irrelevant. And the camo may cover parts of windows and lights. I don't even believe the BMW-like divided grille. It's just all duct tape, smoke and mirrors.

I want that screen as high up as it can be without being washed out by external light or obstructing the windshield. Maybe it being low and "built-in" looks pretty, but is impractical. So I much prefer the "slapped on" displays, as most cars will have.

More people then you could ever figure out.

I believe the eleventh is not coming soon. When it comes, even if nothing else changes much, the front grille will be different. Honda doesn’t have a signature front, so they take advantage of that to make generations look different.

No side markers? Pity, it was such a great cheap mod.... But I bet there will be more visible sheet metal shape difference for the 11th gen. They keep promoting the fake news about Brexit having anything to do with Swindon, even though their own article, linked right there! confirms that it's...

The 2025 CAFE "in real-world terms" is 39 mpg. So today's Honda civic almost reaches it. CAFE numbers are not to be taken literally, they are a bit of propaganda fake science. I'm linking the text below as a reference for the above number. Otherwise, it is quite worthless and not worth...

Yes, but the Insight is strictly a hybrid not an electric car because it has a tiny battery. It will also not keep up with a 1.5T civic. It will save you a little fuel money and that's about it. "The setup provides a combined 151 horsepower, which motivates the Insight from zero to 60 mph in...

Clarity, either EV or PHEV, weighs over 1000 lbs more than my HB ST, while not having any more space inside, rather a bit less. That's over 1/3 more mass. That's 2020 Honda Pilot 2WD. :D Not exactly a swift car. My CR-V is lighter than the Clarity hybrid. Even though the torque is sufficient...
