Im sorry but i think that is disgusting.

[fyzm7357]

I like most of the car, the front end reminds me too much of the new Accord. The back end is nice though....

[Suk02Si]

reminds me of a squirrel

[Brettnyt]

Icky! That thing is hideous, but the tail lights kinda remind me of those on the last gen Prelude.... Dunno why... Headlights are a mix of Accord and BMW Z4.... Not a fan...:confused:

[LordKoo]

Hey,
Don't make our cars look a POS Peugot !

The tailight looks like Peugot 206 or 306!!!

[golferjn]

the car is ok. mentioning peugeots, i like the peugeot 206 wrc. yum

[civic hatch boi]

i like it. it looks like a new accord mixed with the prelude.

[BlasTech]

:p
I sure wish my EP looked like that.
It has some of the proportions of the EK mixed in with the angles of the EP.
Where the heck did you get those, Captain?

[modern-perf]

Damn, the first thing I thought when I got to the side "photo" of the silver car was "hey that kinda looks like an EK."

I like it.

[Jpax]

:eek:

No thanks

[BlasTech]

I love the EK hatch as much as the EP. And that looks like they did a little morph-magic, so http://ephatch.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif :)

[SmoothOperator]

lol I'm the opposite of some of you. Love the front end, hate the rear.

[glw]

I like it! :D

[DownTheHatch]

It's too plain yet space age. I think it just lacks personality, the headlights could be a little more life like, the car retains the shape of our ep for the most part, the rear window reminds me of another hatchback forget what kind. One thing I like about the EP is it always looks happy to see you, I'm not feeling that with this hatchback.

Yeah, the EP is always smiling; My car on the right seems to have buck teeth:D <--

[natesi]

It looks much nicer than our car.

[atl-si]

I'm not feeling it yet. Maybe if people buy it then it would grow on us as the EP3.

:eek: What are they thinking with that recessed rear window?! That's like the pacer (?Wayne's world car) or the Gremlin!

At least they have it looking less like a "nanovan" but come on....that hatch is horrid! :mad:

You know those wheels wont come with it either....I hate that about concept cars. Nice big wheels you'll never get.

[SiR Medic]

I like the aggressive profile!


However...

The front end looks all squinty eyed and the back end is just to plain looking (ie. new accord sedan)

[DownTheHatch]

Look at the dates on the sketches, '96 and '97, these drawings are 6-7 years old, this hatch won't be produced.

[The Captain]

I guess I should have titled it differently as not to give anyone the impression that these were images of future EP's.

I do like the first sketch with its resemblance to the current Accord coupe though.
