Honda Civic News, Pricing and Reviews

Now in its 10th generation, Honda Civic is the car that effectively made American Honda Motors the 5th largest automotive brand in north America. First introduced to Japan as a sub compact 2-door coupe back in 1972 as a 1973 model, Civic would mainstream the compact import car in the north America through affordability, innovation, reliability and long term ease of ownership.

Today, the best selling sedan in the U.S., Civic presents an unparalleled up-line, tech rich, diverse lineup, featuring segment topping active safety features, and turbo power options. Available in coupe, 5-door hatchback, and 4-door sedan configurations, the most awarded car brand in the U.S. continues to evolve in fuel efficiency, on tap power, and near autonomous driver assist technologies. It’s also fun to drive. You will find the latest Civic developments and news here at Torque News.
