Hairshirt
(Latin cilicium; French cilice).

A garment of rough cloth made from goats' hair and worn in the form of a shirt or as a girdle around the loins, by way of mortification and penance. During the early ages of Christianity the use of hair-cloth, as a means of bodily mortification and as an aid to the wearer in resisting temptations of the flesh.

I guess I’m lukewarm about the ['new'] Civic because it seems like the automotive equivalent of a hairshirt... and with competitors such as the Ford Focus, the Civic looks like it was designed by a bunch of bankers. No personality.

The Civic coupe is supposed to appeal to women and buyers under 30. I can’t imagine that they will flock to such a conservative design. Remember, these kids love tattoos and body piercing. How do you individualize a vehicle like the Civic?... When I talk to younger buyers, they’re all about getting online and redoing tires and wheels, stereo systems and such.

So basically, the Civic is good for you — and the environment — and it’s no fun. It won’t get you noticed. That’s why I think it’s only average and gave it two out of four stars.
