I'd probably take some combination of all three 'middle' choices.

The front has grown on me since I've seen spy pics and such - the design seems to emphasise the width of what really is a tallboy soft roader. Not bad. The wheels do it a favour as well - I hope they come standard.

On the other hand, the side window line is a bit of a disappointment - IMO, nothing emphasises size more than the chunky lumps of metal at the rear of the roof. The taillights are also a little bland, if nice enough. They remind me of the current MDX's taillights.

Oh yeah - and weird mirrors.

I don't really like the Civic - it's good in some areas, bad in others. It's not a car I would buy, in any case. If not for that fact, I'd probably choose the middle option of the five. I'll probably plump for the second one - though if that counts as 4/5, then that's higher than I intended.
