This is the new City?
No regret for urging my mom re-purchase her stolen City then. The rear is a bit like Vios cum Gen2 style and the side resemble a shorter Honda Civic. Maybe Honda trying to capture the market with a more sporty model but I thought City main selling point was it being spacious in the first place. Given the looks of it, I think maybe they decided to sacrifice either the boot or passenger space.

QUOTE(badguy03 @ Aug 19 2008, 07:11 PM) Hahaha.... it might just be coincident. As the designer is trying so hard to make the side look to be similar shape as Civic, bumper to be look similar type like Accord. The designing option under that 2 condition might just push him to have to design something out quite similar like the BMW. As long as the sporty shape is still acceptable by most people, we might just pity them and accept their design with open arms.  Added on August 19, 2008, 7:15 pmIt probably might not come out that way, as you see Vios looked small as well that i thought it's space will be quite small as well. But however it came out that the boot is quite wide and so as the seats too. I means not that bad as expected lar. Agreed?  The new Vios is definately longer although just by a little bit. You dont have to sit inside to feel it. Just look at the space between the driver's seat and rear seat can know already. For example, Im driving the old version Vios. Normally when I fetch 3 in the back, well, still acceptable. But whenever I fetch more, the lack of space is very obvious. Thats why whenever I have to fetch more than 3, I rather drive my mom City. When I goto showroom to test, I usually seat myself in the drivers side and adjust the seat backward till I get my position correct. Then I look back for the leg space. New Vios seem pretty good, probably few inches more but never to the extend of City spaciousness. For someone like me who rarely fetch more than 3, its still ok. Not something I would look for a few years later when I had my kids. Most car have enough space for the front but when it comes to the rear, many still sucks.. including my vios I have to say.

QUOTE(honmin @ Aug 25 2008, 09:49 PM) hmmm... Brush aside those cheap materials thingy in comparison to the original spec, the "J" Option will still be a good bargain for the Proton users - 70k for a Toyota instead of the 80-95k++ price tag on the new City. Who knows we might see a lot of J's on the street in the near future? Anyway, I wonder if the new City will have a bigger rear space as it's a lil bit of uncomfort to sit at the back of the current City... LOL Are you that fat/tall? Its already way higher and wider than a Vios. The picture is sad. Like Civic wannabe. Just go ahead and buy Civic better. Old City design is way better.

QUOTE(badguy03 @ Aug 26 2008, 11:25 PM) Well compare to the current City, as i've seen lots of people's opinion saying that current and previous 2 version of city looked quite bad compare to all Honda model. The new coming City definitely trying to break through those gossip by come out with a whole new exterior design. So far i can see it's getting more and more attraction.  Lets wait and see how it turns out. Seeing pic is hard to imagine although I kinda hate a few part of it. I remember that I thought City sucks too lastime, and my vios is better. After driving my mom 2007 and 2008 City, I really starting to feel slightly changed. Although I still prefer Vios for its comfort and DOHC engine, I do feel City is a much better car overall. The space, the aircond vent position, meter console, ultra seat (this is one of the thing that I like most) and quietness.
