    sos10: The Euro Civic looks so much better than the one we get overhere. But the average buyer in the US gets confused when a car doesn't have a separate trunk. more »

    2009 Honda Civic Hatchback Lineup Reveals Minor Facelift We Won't Get

    A bevy of images of the non-US 2009 Honda Civic hatch lineup have made their way to the internet, providing another sad reminder of just how short the US Spec 2009 Honda Civic falls from our desires.

    2009 Honda Civic and 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid Officially Revealed

    After those excitingly rendered 2009 Honda Civic scans surfaced yesterday, Honda apparently decided throw some water on the party and debut the real deal today with official press images and information. The 2009 Honda Civic and Civic Hybrid have indeed been updated, but are considerably less exciting than we were hoping for. It took us a bit to figure out what changed between '08 and '09, but from the appearance side of things, the most dramatic difference is the lower bumper — it gets a set of flanking intakes which are probably just for visual interest. Most of the news comes from interior features, including the introduction of a stereo system equipped to play MP3s, some Bluetooth gadgetry and a new stability-control system. Check out the pics and read all about it in the press release below. More »
