More Honda Civic Renderings Hit the Web

We showed you what the next-generation Honda Civic hatchback might look like, based on patent filings unearthed by one of our forums, yesterday, and now our corporate friends have the sedan renders.
And, well, the sedan version looks pretty much like the hatch is expected to, with the only real difference being a lower profile in the rear since there’s no hatchback.
There are slight differences, mainly in the rear, where the sedan’s taillamps sloped a bit less, and are more angular and more pronounced.
And that is about it.
Like with the hatch, it’s a more sedate, more “mature” look that drops the boy-racer/sport themes. It’s a look that’s clean at the risk of being boring, allowing Honda to try to snag more buyers. And there’s almost certainly room for Si modifications that give the car “flair.”

Something about the front end looks disproportionate, squished vis-a-vis the rest of the car. Maybe my eye is playing tricks.
Much improved from the current car. It’s not the most exciting design in the world and more like a shrunken Accord than anything, but this is Civic afterall. I think this is exactly what this car needed. Now if then can keep at least one good trim level with an MT, all is good.
what is it now, Jetta?
Is it reductive— or on-brand— for one to immediately dismiss the tuning fork design theme? Honda fancy themselves an engineering company, what with the calipers and tuning forks— but I’m just going to call this one: Stick the fork in(not on) this pig. She done.
