2010 Honda Civic Lineup Filled with Variety; Individualized Models Reward with Value, Economy, Performance – Even Luxury

Spanning from hybrid to high performance, gasoline to natural gas, basic transportation to loaded wîth leather and navigation, the Civic delivers

The 2010 Honda Civic lineup has its bases covered wîth technologically advanced Civic Sedan and Coupe models, a Civic Hybrid, a high-performance Civic Si and a dedicated natural gas-powered Civic GX. All Civics were recently enhanced inside and out for the 2009 model year wîth new exterior styling, colors and increased availability of tech-friendly features. For 2010, the entire range of Civics remains largely unchanged.

Enhancements carried over from 2009 include recently refreshed exterior and interior styling features comprised of updated headlight and taillight combinations; new alloy wheel designs for Civic EX, Civic EX-L and Civic Si; and updated seating cloth materials for a more premium interior feel.
'The Honda Civic meets the needs of a diverse audience wîth economical and fun-to-drive performance in a wide variety of choices and styles,' said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of product planning for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. 'The Civic's reputation for durability, quality and reliability helps it stand apart from the crowd.'

Built on a high-rigidity unit-body platform, the Civic is designed to deliver precise, sharp and refined handling performance wîth its MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension.

Four engine and four transmission choices range from a 140-horsepower, 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine (Civic DX, DX-VP, LX, EX and EX-L), wîth either a 5-speed manual or an available 5-speed automatic transmission, to a 197-horsepower, 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine (Civic Si) wîth a 6-speed manual transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) The Civic Hybrid is powered by a 1.3-liter i-VTEC engine wîth Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) gasoline-electric hybrid technology to enhance both fuel economy and performance, and is equipped wîth a continuously variable transmission.
