I like the look of the exterior of the new Civic Coupe. The interior I'm still not sure on, the dash kinda looks cheap.

The good thing about it is with an automatic transmission it gets 30 city and 40 highway miles per gallon. With less weight than the cobalt and a 5 speed auto, its performance is close to the entry level Cobalts, but it wipes it away with fuel economy.

The bad thing is the one I saw on the dealer lot yesterday...the LX couple had a sticker of close to $18,000...and we know honda doesn't discount much or offer rebates. Might be out of the reach of most people in the age group they are targeting.
