    I wonder if it's worth the wait again for another year? They say another civic redesign is coming at the end of this year? Civic 9.1?

    Cool! I'm still confused though sa grill. Is this the final design talaga? I saw some ads kasi sa sulit, 17inch wheels and honeycomb pattern ung grill :|

    I don't like the grill too. Will be upgrading once new grills are released. I liked the foglamps. They are not chromed, shiny black just the way I like them. I ordered additional wing spoilers on mine. Will post as soon as available.

    Regarding the 17 inch rim, I plan to upgrade to 18 inch rim :D the current shiny black honeycomb foglamps will fit the honeycomb grill for my future upgrade.

    At this moment, Honda is sourcing the Civic from Japan so only one variant and hence the high price.

    Once the Thai plant goes online, some journalists are saying that the price could down to the same level as the 2011 Civic FD.

    I do think that 100K or about 10% given the high base price is too much to pay for the same car, regardless of where it's assembled/manufactured.

    Pag nag order ka rin naman ng replacement parts in the future, Thai-made din naman yan hehe.

    "1-M pesos" is a psychological barrier that many people do not want to cross for compact cars.

    I was at the show room of the Honda dealer here in our area and the new Civic does not look that bad in the metal. Delivery takes about a month according to the SA...still thinking if this will be a good replacement for my 5-year old FD.

    Seeing the thread, I am not so fond of competing with the bashers. But as far as I'm concerned I'm happy with my purchase , friends and family all felt it is very comfortable to drive( I let them test drove the car). Although I must admit they all thought it looks like a city. But once they drive the car all their comments are somehow turned to praises.

    Nothing glaringly wrong with the new one.

    It's just that there's not a lot of changes from the 2006 model; and the price hike was unjustified for the kit you get. I.E. The previous 1.8 AT had paddle shifters already.

    And yes, you need to change the grille to something less City-like. (There was a picture a few pages back of the OEM manufactured front grille)

    ^ The highest variant of the 8th gen 1.8L was around ~850K pesos when it was originally released in the Philippines.

    The 9th gen 1.8 is currently at 1.074M pesos. That's a 26% increase. If you use the 2011 price for the highest variant 1.8, the new 9th gen still carries a ~9% premium over the 8th gen.

    I know that in the US, and probably in most other countries, the 9th gen and the 8th gen were sold at similar price ranges, because the 9th gen was designed to be cheaper for a recession economy.

    Apparently dito hindi ganun.
