This fall, we will begin launching an all-new Civic. This will be the 8th generation Civic ... with total global production now approximately 16 million units. And it remains a benchmark among compact cars. In order to exceed these global customer expectations, the next generation global Civic lineup will include 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-door models. It will be produced in all six of Honda's regional operations.

 

The concept for the new Civic will focus on emotion and a fun-to-drive spirit. I am excited about the ability of the new Civic lineup to meet the needs of people who love to drive. To achieve this direction ... we have designed a completely new engine and body.

 

In fact ... Civic will offer four advanced powerplants in its first year on the market. This is an industry first. The new Civic will have Honda's latest i-VTEC engine ... with new technology that achieves even higher fuel economy and low emissions. This means every Honda and Acura sold in the U.S. will have a next generation engine. We also will introduce the Civic Diesel in Europe with Honda's award-winning diesel engine. The natural gas Civic is the cleanest internal combustion engine in the world and will continue to be made in Ohio. And a new Civic Hybrid will have a hybrid system with significantly higher fuel economy and performance

the hybrid one will be more appropriate here in Sg.

high fuel price here may favour such fuel efficient hybrid cars, hope LTA hv incentives for such cars.....

[Ahhan7]

i dont exactly care whether it's hybrid anot. cos i not really environmental-cautious.

 

the looks of the new civic really disappointing me.

Is Hondas moving away from "chiong" cars to more sedated ones????

Looks like it.

LTA have incentives for hybrid cars ? From what I see so far... hybrid cars seem to be quite expensive leh.

heard in the news, many of these hybrids will be offered to the NTUC co-op car sharing scheme. When or hv they started already?

[Normal_aspirated]

new civics & Jazzie/Fits look fiercer but still sedated ones, mah.

wow the jazz/fit looks bldy good !

much better than the sissy one they have now.

 

the civic looks ok ... though the front bumper looks bit weird

Interesting, this is what I've been telling others that the 04 Civic lacks the "modern eyes" like the Mazda cars. I think the look is ok. Anyway, expect some variations when launched.

The new Jazz/Fits looks a bit like the current Nissan Micra/March from the front leh.

Thought these are white cars are running around on our roads already ?

The headlights in the new Civic looks like the 3-bulb projector lights. Looks nicer than the current one. But the front bumper looks a bit wierd though.
