Exactly right, and I wish more people knew about it. I remember seeing a preview of the Civic sedan back in 2004 if I remember right. Some magazine had it and they previewed the FCX at the same time touting the design as the new direction for the company. Seemed ugly to me at the time but like most new designs it grew on me eventually.

I'm glad there haven't been a whole lot of horribly negative comments on this. For some reason I was expecting worse......
