2016 Honda Sonic Civic

HONDA DEBUTS CUSTOM-DESIGNED 'SONIC CIVIC' AT COMIC-CON

Jul 22, 2016 - San Diego, Calif. To celebrate the legendary video game character, 'Sonic the Hedgehog™,' SEGA® has tapped Honda and its number one selling car in America, the Civic, to create a one-of-a-kind Sonic Civic, as the beloved game commemorates its 25th year. The custom Sonic Civic, based on a turbocharged 2016 Civic Touring Sedan, will make its debut tonight during Comic-Con at SEGA's sold-out Sonic the Hedgehog 25th Anniversary event at the House of Blues in San Diego.
'What better way to showcase the incredibly sporty performance capability of the 10th generation Civic than by pairing it with gaming industry's ultimate athlete – Sonic the Hedgehog,' said James Jenkins, Public Relations Manager for the Honda Division. 'As the fan favorite game and character celebrates his 25th anniversary on the scene, we hope that all Sonic fans – those who remember playing years ago and those who continue playing today – rejoice in his all-new ride, as much as we enjoyed creating it.'




The 2016 Honda Civic Sedan
The Honda Civic Sedan, 2016's North American Car of the Year, leads a Civic lineup that is the #1 Compact car in America and has been every year for the past six years1, and the most popular car in America with Millennials2. The sporty and sophisticated 10th-generation Civic lineup features new Honda direct-injected turbo engine technology; class-leading EPA fuel economy of up to 42 MPG highway3; advanced Honda Sensing™ safety and driver-assistive technology, and the latest in connected-car technology, including both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. This completely reimagined Civic lineup kicked off last fall with the launch of the 2016 Civic Sedan, followed by the seriously sporty 2016 Civic Coupe in February and an all-new Civic 5-door Hatchback launching later this year. The 10th-generation Civic lineup will be capped off with the 2017 launch of high-performance Civic Si variants and a radical new Civic Type-R, topping off the sportiest, most expansive model lineup in the 44-year history of Civic.
