Really didn't like em when they came out, nor did I like the hatch for example, preferred it over the saloon but first thoughts were a good car ruined tbh. But I'll admit they are growing big time on me, especially the 08+ saloons, done right they look mean, example above lol
Same way when the EP replaced the EK type r civics for example, half the country complained, now they about as common as each other.. Just the change itself that catches ppl in my opinion
