2014_Honda_City_new_vs_old_ 001

We're reporting from Thailand, to preview the all-new 2014 Honda City before it's introduced in Malaysia. The drive report will be up at a later date, but for now, let us take you through what is, to most of us at least, the new Toyota Vios-rival's defining feature – its looks.

When it comes to cars in this segment, price (Nissan Almera) and appearance (Toyota Vios) talk. So here is the upcoming Honda B-segment sedan, pictured next to the car it will replace very soon. In the next few weeks, in fact. Yes, we're that close to the 2014 City's Malaysian launch.

Ignore the exact specifications of this very car for now, as this is a Thai-built, Thai-spec vehicle, which differs from the Malaysian-assembled, Malaysian-spec models you can buy locally. Just focus on the looks at the moment. Not a bad change of style, eh? Give us your thoughts below.
