Korean products are getting better and better, you can see more surface detailing which makes the products look more expensive.

On another note, is that an mtech rear I see on that Spectra

honda civic with a facelift?

Los Angeles · 07-02-2008, 01:45 PM

Honda Civic/ Acura TSX/ Honda Accord .. all wrapped in one.

Nothing says new like a copied design. (how many iphone knock-offs are there now??)

Yeah that's exactly what I thought when I saw the pic at WCF. Like, I glanced at it in the mini news feed and dismissed it as a Civic before taking a second look lol.

Haha, gotta love faux diffusers. I do. I wish BMW would offer them as standard fare across the range, like Audi. I mean, yeah, all the rear bumpers would look more or less identical (like an Audi), but I think faux diffusers are the best looking things...next to real ones that is. The diffuser on the F430 is pure sex.

What you should note is that there's the tell-tale round radar sensors on the rear bumper, hinting at PDC of some sort.

This is true, but compared to a Civic it's not too bad. There's some major faults in the design imo, like the shoulder line running beneath the windows and the weird hood design trailing the edge near the cowl, but still, there's at least a somewhat satisfactory amount of detail in the design.

Year's_End · 07-03-2008, 03:03 AM

Sorry, it's not near the cowl, it's above the front fenders. But wtf were they thinking, and I'm all for bringing back boxed-fenders.

ALPINE6SPD · 07-07-2008, 05:42 PM

Wow TSX front and Civic 4 door rear. Looks nice for a KIA.
The forn on this actually looks nicer than the new TSX. The front of the new TSX looks like horse shit.
