2013 Honda Civic Styling Tweaked for More Mass Appeal

Love it or hate it, the Civic is a force to be reckoned with. Sales increased this year even after the collective body of automotive journalists ridiculed Honda’s 2012 effort. In spite of that, the brand tweaked its popular little car to give it broader appeal. What, exactly, that project meant was a mystery until today when the brand released images of the 2013 car.

Looks a bit better. Thank you Honda! Now, just make it handle better.

I looked at a 2012 LX coupe in the showroom a while back and was impressed.

It would be nice if that front end and those new tails I saw make it into production.

I saw the word concept on Hondas site is the reason I wonder.

It makes you wonder if they tried to recreate the concept in consumer form, how many more you would sell!

For 20 hp? Lol....no. That would still make it one of the lowest powered cars in the sport compact segment. Honda needs to aim higher than simply incrementally improving their own model's output at a snail's pace.

The new Focus ST with Ecoboost 4 cyl has 250+ hp and 270+ TQ....this is the new bench mark in the subcompact class. It unanimously beat the Golf GTI in not less than 2 auto mags this month.
