Re: Official Next Gen Civic Preview

yuck, glad I have an '05. I would love the added benefeit of a more efficient engine, but come on, it has to look nice too! Maybe the coupe will be better, all I saw were hatchback pics.

Economies of scale ?
I do hope they downsize the engine, and not follow the HAH path.

I wonder what the Camry will have to offer besides more power and less MPG.

Here's a close up of the dash. The trip computer is standard on all of the Civic trims!

Re: Official Next Gen Civic Preview

Citrus Smoothie at insightcentral.net has posted interesting info on the new Honda Civic Hybrid:

Quote:

Acceleration - 0-100 km/h is 11.3 seconds
Engine power - 116 bhp @ 6000 rpm and 125 lb / ft torque
683 miles per tank of fuel
Only available in CVT

(apparently best way to manage efficiency of engine)
Engine able to close all four cylinders for short periods when cruising, driving on electric alone
A/C is powered by both belt and electric - switches itself between the most efficient choice
Available in new four door saloon body, which is wider and has a more muscular stance than existing model and is almost as big as Accord body.
MPG (American figures) 56 City, 54 Highway (Av. 55) which equals second Prius (60/51/55)

This is from the UK.
