Nice car.

Just another example of how nice other country's GM products are, and how uninspired the USA's models are.

Excellent man! I'm really excited to try out one of those with the diesel. Can't wait to see more pictures when you get the chance!

Indica, Congrats, this is an awesome achievement. Most of us outside of the western world do not realize how hard sometime our compatriots have to work hard to achieve something like what we consinder a normal lifestyle.

The front clip on the foreign Civic looks 10x the one we have here. A lot more agressive looking.

I saw a couple of the Acura CSX's this summer whilist driving to Florida this summer. They are pretty much the same as the one pictured above but with different badging. I think that they look a lot better than the ones here in the US.

Re: Finally, Got A New G.M. Car For Myself

Congrats on the new car!!

I like that Civic. A lot better looking than the one here. Rear end can use some tweeking: get rid of the lights on the trunk lid.

You look like an extremely fun and energetic bunch!

Seriously, congrats on your purchase. Why don't you do a little comparo for us- the Civic vs the Chevy.
