2005 Chicago Auto Show
Honda Civic Si Concept
Jeff: Really clean yet interesting surfaces. It's so clean it's almost a little antiseptic however. I like how the thicker B pillar creates a visual dynamic that seems to propel the thinner A pillar forward. That effect seems a bit like the roofline of some earlier pillarless Mercedes coupes, but it's more sophisticated in this Honda. Probably the show car is not too far from the next Civic.
This is probably the most significant car of the show since Honda Civics are consistently the best small cars in the world and sell in huge numbers.
