Concept Honda Civic Likely A Reality

Honda does not do a good job with their concept cars. No, not design faults - and they usually are not really concepts

.

When Honda displayed a concept vehicle at the auto show, visitors should request a Honda show representative if they see the car will be built. Probably the answer is that the vehicle you are looking for may have already been green-lighted for production.

Concept Civic

At the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Honda has discovered one such "concept" cars - Honda Civic. Recalling the concept is not true - this model is reminiscent of the 2012 Honda Civic right down to the wheelwells

.

But first, some history of Honda Civic. This model was introduced as a subcompact in the U.S. market in the early 1970s, the first Honda passenger cars sold in America. Always popular, the Honda Civic is a perennial top-five best-selling Honda car, Honda Accord dominate in sales and competing directly against the Toyota Corolla.

stronger competition

higher these days and is now sold as compact Civic is facing renewed competition from American and Asian cars and the like. Typically, the Accord was completely redesigned every four or five years, but this latest generation of models hanging around for six years. Honda credit for taking into account what its competitors offer, cars like the Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus and Hyundia Elantra Civic that leapfrogged in technology and fuel efficiency.

NAIAS display at the conceptual version of the ninth generation Honda Civic coupe and sedan. This car retains much of the Civic design logic, but also restores the hybrid model. This hybrid will be powered by a lithium-ion battery, which Civic claim some of the most fuel of any of the standard hybrid.

Design Language

from the outside, civic concepts reveals sedan and the coupe is a smooth, elegant lines but with a steeply raked windshield, wide grip and visible character line along the sides. It is less a character trait of both vehicles to a wider rear wings are actively deepen the impression of forward energy. In other words, the car seems to be ready to move when you are sitting still. Credit Civic deeply recessed front lights to add to that mystique.

Inside, Honda promises to maintain a fit and finish and ease of use of the cabin layout that has long been a selling point for the Civic. Although the outside shows the direction for the 2012 Civic, Honda has held back on what cabin would look like and what will work under the hood.

fuel efficiency

the biggest challenge for Honda responds to what its competitors do: it offers one or more models capable of achieving 40 mpg on the highway, something that eludes the Civic. Indeed, Hyundai Elantra threw down the gauntlet when the 2011 model is released - manual and automatic versions get 29 mpg city, 40 mpg highway - a lot better than Civic.Cruze, too, has the ECO model that improves the Civic, getting 42 mpg on the highway .

Do not expect Honda roll over and play dead - Japanese automaker keeps things close to the vest and be surprised later in 2011 when the 2012 Honda Civic debut. What you will not be a surprise, the vehicle's exterior, which is currently being showcased at auto shows across North America, which represents the ninth generation of compact Honda Civic coupe and sedan.
