You got it. The body is totally different, and you can get it as a diesel too :

On one Top Gear they dogged the looks, but I think this design is superior to the USA Civic coupe. I know that Wayne Gerdes test drove the diesel and loved it.

Question: Back on topic, do you think the covers are larger than the wheel? Unless the wheels are gigantic, they look like they cover the sidewalls of the tire (to me, anyway).

Yes, they do cover the sidewall of the tire a bit, which might be problematic but someone will have to try and see.

Hi All,

What did he say "about 60 mpg, which is allot better than any Hybrid he has driven". Well, he has not driven a Prius then. That 50 to 54 mpg range is like the sweet spot in the Prius, and it gets 70 + mpg there.

But, I do like the aero nose on that Civic. That has to be good for some Cd improvements...
