Oh Hi: 2012 Honda Civic

So I almost didn’t bother writing a blog post about this because as you can see from the video above, there really isn’t much to talk about here in terms of design. It’s more of an intense face lift rather than a full out re-design.

But since the Honda Civic is the number one selling car in Canada, I felt as though I should say something. And also because for some reason Honda didn’t feel it necessary to camouflage the newest iteration of its best selling car ever.

So here it is, the 2012 model year in the Middle East most likely doing hot weather testing. As you can see, the most significant update is the the rear with a completely new tail light design (is every car on the road gonna use LED’s now?) and a much higher rear deck that reminds me of the rear of a Nissan Sentra. Which isn’t exactly a good thing. The front facia is more familiar to the current version with the grille being more upright.

No word yet on power plants. Hopefully the Si sticks around but if it does, Honda better give it more power. The current version is quite the snooze fest. And hopefully they’ll be able to make it look good. Not like how the Nissan Sentra SE-R looks terribly awkward.

Expect official pics quite soon in light of this new video.
