Honda had a problem? This is the first one year redesign of a well selling vehicle that I could think of. The 2012 Civic was meh at best. The 2013 Civic, looks a lot better but it is unfortunately, the same mechanically as the 2012. The 2013 also has a new interior, probably a watered down version of the Acura ILX. Should still be around 16k.
Very affordable and reliable. Thoughts?
not bad I guess its better than the current. It kinda looks like a hyundai tho. I think honda needs to hire a new designer because the new acuras/ hondas dont even compare to the style of the time of the 06+ civic 04+ tsx and tls and such. after those body styles came out the new ones sucked.
Wow…so the 9th gen. Civic lasted the 2012 model year, and that’s it? Honda doesn’t typically do stuff like this…kind of wondering what’s going on…
This 2013 model though looks better than the 2012…
Well there goes the resale on mine. :skunk:
Not bad but i generally don’t like honda facelifts.
i just priced out a normal 2012 civic on hondas website and to get A/c and usb port (Ex model) which most cars have standard I am up to $21,700! that is no where near $16,000.
An LX has A/C, but maybe not USB port, but an AUX likely. The LX starts at $18k. You could easily knock that back to $17k after some negotiating.
Dealerships don’t really stock DXs in my experience. Nobody wants them. They would rather cut you a deal on an in-stock LX than to order you a DX.
This was planned late last year.

Everything now looks like a Hyundai or Toyota.
Well either way, I like the looks of this 2013 over the 2012. The 06-11 8th gen. was a slam dunk in my eyes, whereas the '12 was a lamer watered down version…
Maybe I’m crazy, but…
Hyundai
Hyundai has got to be killing it right now… a few people from work have purchased Hyundai’s after I told them to test drive the new ones.
Yes we have been very busy to say the least, and I am speaking for all the local Hyundai dealers. We have been sold out of accents for months and sell them before they hit the lot, most base Sonatas are also pre-sold before they get off the truck. But when you can lease a base sonata for 250/mo with nothing down that happens lol
maybe honda needs to wake up and smell the roses. slap a little turbo on your cars and get good MPG with real HP.
I heard the S3000 might be coming out with a V6 and…hold onto your seats…280HP!!!
GTFO with your 280HP. Cars in its class are in the mid 300s and they plan to be under 300…good job boys
as much as i like Honda, someone needs to be fired
I know its only a concept but usually the concepts look awesome and they tone down the production car
I really hope its not even close to this. The front I like but the rear is terrible IMO
the s2k concept was hawt… seeing the s3k concept makes me want a s2000 even more lol
VW called just to remind Honda this has been done already.
Looks very Audi-esque to me.
I KNOW RIGHT
THANKS FOR MAKING MY VALUE GO UP HONDA
