I never liked Civic. I don't know if it is about the car itself or before there are too many of them out there. It just gives me a crappy feeling of the car.
I never consider any Honda car when I was buying a new car a month ago.

ummmm....
 

Jesus... All cars look the same. That being said I don't think that the P5 looks anymore like a Sprtcross then it looks like an Impreza wagon or an A4 avant (new one for ya). Stacked side by side they all have about the same shape. What do you expect they're all compact wagons!? At night, from the right angle you'd swear my ES sedan was a 4 year old A4 1.8t. But when the light comes up- NO way! The A4 is as classy as compact gets and my Pro is as classy as economy gets. About the front air damn, Mazda ripped that off EVERY rally compact thats competed over the last decade. :mad:

Conversation at auto repair shop:
"What make and model of car you need new transmission for?"
"For the red one"
Yeah, if you're like my mom, then Protege5 sure looks like Lexus, Audi TT like Beetle, and Civic like M3.
I believe every manufacturer takes care to design their cars to stand out, but there's only number of ways you can do aerodynamic, functional and eye catching design-and that is reflected in Lexus, Sibaru, Evo and Protege. Praise for Mazda(Lexus and Subaru) designers. Fog lights should be in your bumper, not on the hood or roof and roof spoiler is on the roof, not below exhaust pipe.
Look at the fighter planes-they have very similar layout to uneducated eye, but expert will tell you which is which in a blink of an eye. By saying that Protege 5 looks like Lexus or Subaru you just saying "I have lack of attention to detail and know shit about cars".
Don't get upset, there's always emblem on the car saying who made it. :P

Wrong. As stated earlier, Mazda's sport 20 was out in Japan YEARS before the Sportcross hit North America.

I've heard that the same guy designed the P5 and the IS 300 and by the way they look I certainly belive it.
