These pictures are of test mules pieced together from various cars, and the first one in the thread is a sedan, not a hatch. We don't really know what the hatch will look like other than it will share the front end with the coupe and sedan.Judging by honda's european hatchback civics from the past 2 cycles we could see a similar shape to those with the split rear windows. OR. Honda could surprise us and go with a more traditional hatch rear. We don't really know. Personally i like the backs of the euro civic hatches both the current and previous gen. I like the split rear window and more sloped roof and back end. But at this point it's kind of up in the air what honda will actually do with the hatch.
