They know the average American consumer will accept lower standard goods at higher standard prices without complaint. Hell, many of them will take out > 60 month loans to do it.
Please no, I want my Civic EX Hatch. The sport models should be illegal to sell in NYS where the first 5 feet of...
The rear seats are visibily identical to the 10th gen in some photos.
From photos, the Sport trim appears to have identical seats to the 10th gen (you can see that center fabric strip). The ex has cloth accord-like (cloth seat shown without fabric strip) seats and the touring has leather...
Technical reason - Easier to assemble and service
Safety reason - You aren't taking your eyes too far off the road while driving
I honestly think GM, Subaru and other very middle displays are pretty unsafe to drive with.
No chance at all. The 2022 Civic infotainment is actually a slightly updated version of the 2018+ Accord infotainment. If anything only the Accord would get any feature updates from the 2022 Civic. It's a very different platform, in fact it's designed to be end user updatable and has a built in...
I believe I saw a number from a Honda executive that Hatchbacks are around 25% of Civic sales.
One quote I found about the first model year of the 10th
I wonder if the duplicate speedometer (analog style) can be turned off in favor of just the numeric speedometer.
I also wonder if the tachometer can be turned off like on the 10th gen CVT civics.
The interior in the video is mainly the current Accord's. They showed a futuristic concept art that isn't real, and then they showed the concept image for the Civic at the end. This is just a marketing wank video and we won't get to see the real next-gen interior for the Civic until the 28th.
Turns out it did nothing to salvage the car sales from plummeting.
According to Honda commentary recently, it looks like they are also going to position the redesigned HR-V as the "entry to the Honda world" instead of the Civic.
To each his own applies. We all have short lifespans to experience the world, some people do that by just getting a new car more often as it gives them pleasure in one form or another. But other people experience the world with different priorities and there's no harm done.
The Civic is more than likely the "pilot" to get the new gear into production, the HB, HRV and CRV appear they are going to share a lot of common elements with the Civic so they'll hold those back as they iron out initial issues with the Civic. Their end goal will be to get all of them updated...
The rattles on the 10th gen are early model year issues unfortunately. If you were to get a 2021 SI it would have absolutely none.
The only issue that remains is Honda's lack of sound deadening standard in the doors and other parts of the interior which contributes to road noise. The Accord is...
Honda wanted to eliminate Lane Watch a few times already but kept backing off. So BSM is most likely going to happen.
I personally don't care for BSM because Lane Watch + looking on the left works great. It's only cars with gimped visibility like SUVs and even the narrow window Accord that...
I'm pretty happy with the "dark grey" wheels I ended up with on a white '21 EX Hatchback somehow. They still provide chrome lugnuts and the chrome honda logo which gives it a good accenting. Nothing cheap looking about it.
I actually hate the "two tone" rims that Honda uses on a few...
Hah, I would argue most younger people buying a Civic as their new car do it because it's (a) Honda and (b) cheaper end of car pricing.
There will only be a subset that prioritizes looks. Most people drive these things as commuters, not sports cars.
I picked up a 10th gen civic because it gave...
Simple, color choices are going to based on sales forecasts. They apparently don't see it selling enough to justify the expense.
I suspect Meteorite Gray however is the substitute dark grey color that they think is more appealing.
Those look exactly like the fake exhaust tips like the Accord 1.5T Sport has. (They are trying to reuse parts so....)
The US Civic was most likely a non-Sport trim.
Yep, everyone wants practicality. A trunk sedan is literally a bad dated boomer design. Their parents before had cars that were hatchbacks/station wagons and the generations now are a bit wiser as well. It's the only way to compete with the practicality offered by crossovers/suvs.
Don't get me...
I do believe the Hybrid drivetrain is standardized on the same 2.0L engine so it is here to stay as long as it sells in the Civic. It probably has some sort of cost/benefit for them.
