What kind of bollocks is this? A picture of a car that was 'leaked' six months ago is called a reveal? Christ, have some dignity and show some metal, or just don't bother. (Oh, right, the band needed a backdrop. My apologies.)
I am no expert on generational buying habits, but do question whether any "kids these days" would view this video and think: "Wow, I was just about to go buy a Corolla/Focus/Civic, but now that I that I've had a chance to hear a band I've never heard of alongside the Civic reveal, I think I'll wait for the Honda." All that said, the car looks great, and appears to have the right set of specs and features. If it drives like the old Civics (while giving more room than an old Accord), this could be a real winner for people over 30 as well as under.
Looking at some interior shots on "that other" site, it looks like Honda has succumbed to the stupid trend of a high, obtrusive center console. This makes me sad, as maximizing interior space was one of the last bastions of the Old Honda way of thinking. That's one of the things I love most about my '12, the room to splay your legs out over long drives. It honestly feels every bit as roomy as a midsizer in that regard, in fact I have more room for my right knee in my Civic than I do in my gf's 2012 Camry. I'm constantly leaning my knee against the lower part of the dash in that Camry, and it makes nasty creaking noises.
174 hp turbo only available with CVT. This thing will run around everywhere at under 2500 rpm, no doubt vibrate like the CRV whose engine is run at too low rpm, and provide zero excitement. Should sell extremely well.
