Spy Shots: 06 Civic sedan


Spy Shots: 2006 Honda Civic Sedan
With apologies to new technology, Honda shies away with its new entry-level four-door.



Sometimes it just doesn't pay to save space on your digital memory card for those vacation pictures when something big is passing you by. And that's exactly what happened during this spring break fling. These pictures, taken by college students on their way to their vacation destination, was obviously shot in the low-megapixel mode, but grainy or not, these are the very first pictures of the upcoming Honda Civic sedan.

There will be many differences between the sedan and coupe, but even so, one can easily see the similarities between the sedan shown here and the Civic Si concept shown in Chicago. Most noticeable is the sweeping roofline and A-pillar, which goes right into the hood for a dramatic look. The windshield, side-view mirror treatment, and front-side windows, as well as the rear fender creases and trim, all match closely with the Si concept as well.

It looks kindof odd shaped. And is the C-pillar really that thick at the bottom, or is it covered with camo?

The front is Prius-like, and the A-pillar is also oddly thick.

That a-pillar looks a lot like the Honda Fit sedan sold overseas, and I really hope that the c-pillar is covered with a lot of camo.

Me too, because otherwise the window looks extremely blocky, which really doesn't blen with the rest of the car.

It's just that thick. Think Saturn Ion and Nissan Maxima.

It does look much like the Maxima C-pillar, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.
