Honda Civic studio in Detroit 2011 - Ninth-generation compact car comes

Honda Civic 2011

Honda launches the new Civic to America: At the Detroit Auto Show (15 to 23 January 2011) show the Japanese a study of the ninth generation of compact car. So far the manufacturer has been published only a sketch of the car.

Honda itself speaks for the design of the new Civic from a slender aerodynamic lines. The drawing shows that the lines of its predecessor, will continue. However, the car seems to be wide and sturdy to stand on the street. A large lower air intake, arrow-shaped inwardly tapered headlights and the headlights placed air vents give the Civic a sporty look. The positioning of the daytime running lights in the outer lower corners of the face, pulls the car visually more in width. The rising belt line, combined with the coupe roof can study the dynamic effect.

John Mendelsohn, president of Honda North America, will unveil the Civic's degree at the Auto Show in Detroit 2012th However, the study will probably be very close to production - the production model is in the U.S. in the spring of 2011 in the sale.

First Sketch: Honda Civic Concept

Remember the Civic? With the high level of flux in the econobox segment of late, Honda’s little sedan and coupe have been somewhat overlooked. The current generation landed in the U.S. for 2006, so the car is just about due for a rework, which will appear in concept form at the 2011 Detroit show.

If Honda concepts of the recent past are any indicator, the production Civic—due in the spring of 2011 as a 2012—should look a lot like the little red number sketched here. And that means it will in turn look a lot like the current European Civic; this sketch shows a combination of the Euro car’s aggressive headlights and the wide-mouth grille on the current U.S. Civic. The lower fascia also gets angry, and there appear to be LED strips situated inboard of the fog lamps. And we’re hoping for more stylistic lightning bolts, à la 2011 Odyssey’s beltline.

As for what will power the new car, we expect a lineup of four-cylinder engines similar to the current car’s, as well as the return of the Civic hybrid. Look for more information—on the concept, at least—early next year.
