In Autoexpress today they have some real spy shots of the 2006/7 3 door Civic hatch. Unusually for Autoexpress these are not computer renders, but proper high res photos of a silver car at a german test facility.

What's funny is the disguise the car is wearing.... Ok, so the new Civic is pretty different looking to any other car in its class with the appearence of a single front light, the high rear window split by the spoiler, the rakeish windscreen almost matching the bonnet angle.

So how have Honda disguised the car? Zig zag pattern tape? Padded add'on panels? Fake rear door shut lines?

No..... they have put a tiny bit of silver tape over the Honda "H" on the nose and tail. Nothing more

Its almost like Honda's cunning disguise department couldn't be arsed.... " it, they are all gonna know its a civic, lets save some tape"

ps. Its very good looking.

No, the current car was launched in January, and has 5 doors.
This is the one the Type-R will follow from.
