Default Rear View: Civic vs Audi

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/63784/civicvsaudi.jpg"></center><p>Not a particularly good pair of shots for comparison, but close enough.

I personally find the differences greater than the similarities. But to each his own.

Default I have and from a distance my reaction was it looks like an Audi but something's not right. As soon

as I got a little closer (nighttime, 50 yards) it was obvious that it was not an Audi.

Default If you have a habit of ID'ing a car at a distance by the shape of the tail lights

it's an easy mistake to make

Default Yea but even if they do look similar, what's your point?

Are you trying to say the B7 looks like a Civic? If anything it's the other way around. I HIGHLY doubt that Audi saw a pre-production Civic and thought hm lets make our car look like that. Much more likely that Honda borrowed Audi styling for their little p0s. Nothing we can do now, both cars are in production. Live with it.

Default Although I'm not a fan of the B7 taillights, I actually like it better...

than the way the Civic lights are shaped. When compared side-by-side, they don't look as similar as when I view them separately on the road.

Hmm...maybe the B7 is finally growing on me.

Default I was responding to this thread...

A frequently occurring theme here is that the B7 from the rear looks like a Civic.

Not to my eye.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/330051.phtml">Civic Thread</a></li></ul>
