I'm not sure about the rear end.  The rear panel on the trunklid has a lot of weird angles on it.  Maybe it will look better in person.  I reserve judgement until I see one in person.

Front looks great, though, and the side profile isn't terrible.  Comparing it to the Tiburon isn't faint praise, as I thought the Tiburon was a good looking car.

Dat A$$....  just doesn't look right in the pictures.  I will reserve judgement till I see one in person, but I'm not giving my hopes up.  The sedan seems better executed.

Personally, the best looking Civic Coupe ever was this:

Not only best looking, possibly best driving as well. (Although it's a shame that one in the pic has a wing  :P )

I still miss mine.  :'(

^ I was 18 when that Civic SiR came out and I loved it so much. Between it and the then-new fifth gen Prelude all I wanted was a Honda. How times change.

This new coupe looks a bit weird in the back, which is how I feel about the new C-class coupe as well. The sedan is ok in person and I need to see this in person before passing final judgement.

The rear view sort of looks like this coupe is giving birth to another coupe.
