I'm not a Honda fan, I don't want a coupe, but Man - This may be worth a test drive.

I'd like the Civic, but the dash/instrument cluster design is abhorrent to me. Just horrible.

Looks too heavy in the rear. Clunky or chunky or cumbersome or... I don't know; it's some kinda C word. Just not proportioned right. I mean, who thought the Crosstour was hot? IMO, it was the ugliest thing Honda released in a long time and a bit of a failure, hence why it was canceled. Then they follow it up with basically the same design language for the new Civic. Where's that damn puking smiley?

Are you thinking of last Gen's split instrument cluster? This one looks good to me!

Definitely similar design language. I was no fan of the Crosstour (who was?), but I like the junk-in-the-trunk rear-drive-suggestive stance of this Civic!

Whatever ones with this styling. That split stuff is *so* gross.

Ugh, it's just a busy mish-mash and I've been accused of being far too lenient and accepting of interior design... Ok, only by one person, but still.

Agreed! That last-gen dash would be a deal breaker for me. Not to mention that gross wall-to-wall hard plastic.
