2013 Honda Civic Styling Tweaked for More Mass Appeal

The 2012 Civic non-Si sedan bumpers were vanilla plain. The bumper on the 01-03 Em2 looks better.

I like it, looks like the Accord and civic had a love child.

I was thinking the same thing. So they're redesigning the Civic for more appeal? The people that this car is supposed to "appeal to" aren't liking the shitty HP numbers out of a 2.4L engine. And the handling sucks BIG TIME. I think they need to work on those first. Forget the exterior.

I'm a little late to comment but will say that I expected more from the 2013 Civic. The styling is still a tad boring to me. It does look similar to the Kia Forte which isn't necessarily a good thing.

Civic would greatly benefit from a more drastic AGGRESSIVE styling change -AND- a boost in HP. If they boosted the Si platform and it came in at ~240hp, sales would indeed skyrocket.

I don't think selling 255,000+ "sub par" 2012s is any small feat.

Edit: Somewhere around 265,000 total 2012s were sold.

No question they sold well. They have a great reputation and brand name behind them.

At least the forte has a JDM headlight loop. Lol! Lets hope the new Si isn't as disappointing as the 12-13 Si. I test drove the 2013 Civic Si and then test drove the 2013 Corolla S. then I ended up with the 2013 Corolla S. just wasn't felling the Si I guess.

I like to redesign more then original 9th gen, but I really like the redesigned Accord!I would def drive a 2013 Accord coupe V6 6-speed.
