gonna angry post about it here instead of twitter but why the fuck does the new Civic (RS) look like this man

im even gonna play with one arm tied behind my back and not link the 5th or 6th gen--whatever happened to like the friendly lookin' car that a teenager and grandmother could drive.

whatever happened to the city car (not the actual Honda City, you know what i mean)

worse is that the thing is basically not even a civic anymore it's functionally a Honda Accord with a hair shorter wheelbase.

im not even being a kei-supremacy type right now i just miss the standard compact car actually existing instead of being an aggro-designed sedan-derivative monstrosity

make me get upset about cars (design and engineering) please im begging you i have so many opinions about cars (design and engineering)

#i am not looking to get upset about cars in an urbanist sense #thats a different conversation and is also more of a regulation and public infrastructure problem ty

We had the age of cars that look like sneakers, and then the age of cars that look like cell phones, and now I guess we are in the age of cars that look like Michal Bay's Transformers?

all the cars are so big for no clear reason
like they don't even have more seats, what is the point??

Maya @Mayabotics8/1/2024, 6:30 AM

I have a suspicion it is to allow you to have a chance at surviving in a collision at speed with those monstrously huge trucks/SUVs.

the same reason we have bigger pillars on cars - crash safety.

some new EVs are getting more interior volume though, the Kia EV3 has more cargo volume than an i30 but is a few inches shorter

I really loved my 1998 Honda Civic. Great car.

Erica @erica8/1/2024, 7:49 PM

It's still the Civic that makes it into videogames for a good reason!

looks like its following the awful trend set by bmw. i cant stand how they all look now

surasshu @surasshu8/1/2024, 6:34 AM

people (myself included) going crazy over the R3(X) for just... looking like a car

surasshu @surasshu8/1/2024, 6:44 AM

god i remember loving that futuristic weirdo civic design from 2006 (iirc) that looked like a rice cooker, with the twin triangle exhausts and the hidden back door handles and the solid piece of glass covering the H. kinda feels like a bad omen for the future now

ira 🌷🐰@irina8/1/2024, 6:49 AM

i loved the dash in my 2006 civic tho
honda civic 2006-7 dashboard

surasshu @surasshu8/1/2024, 7:11 AM

yes! my partner has a civic hybrid from 2008 i think? and it has a fantastic dash. my 2015 outback cannot compete (and modern cars are a total joke, one of my greatest frustrations is modern dash design)

ira 🌷🐰@irina8/1/2024, 9:33 AM

mine was the RHD version of the photo (and manual) and it was so good. the LCD was starting to die by the time i sold it (and it had racked up 250,000km / 155,000mi) but the design is unmatched

Remember when not all Nissans were out for blood in their stylings? Like, yeah you had the Skyline and stuff, but a Maxima was just the most "dad" car you could get from them, and now, every single Nissan model feels like it's ready to do donuts at you in the Denny's parking lot when no one even cares.

surasshu @surasshu8/1/2024, 7:16 AM

nissan quest was peak giant kei car design. i love that thing

cerry 🍒@cereza8/1/2024, 7:14 AM

society peaked at 1989 z31

I played GT5 recently and was hit with how much I miss some older design in cars. Just. More fun stuff and more "(boring) good" "a car" looks. Being reminded of the back of the CRX and (original) NSX makes the current Accord look even weirder. If Honda wants me to like them again they can bring the 4th gen Fit over. and the N-van/wagon/box. Went looking for potential new car next year for family and every entry on my list can be described as "settling".

Maya @Mayabotics8/1/2024, 12:27 PM

I am going to be so sad when my 2nd gen Fit is no longer road worthy.

The newer HR-Vs are such an abomination. I certainly don't want a car that is so hyper-aggressive looking and ugly. I just want something smol and friend-shaped.
