  • 2014 Honda Civic Coupe

    Honda’s Civic hatchback sold overseas is set to spawn a new Type R variant complete with a turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine spitting out more than 276 horsepower (we hear the final figure may be closer to 320 hp). Sadly, this model isn’t headed to the U.S. anytime soon but some of its mechanicals may be on their way. A source close to Honda has revealed to MotoryRacing that a major update is coming for the U.S.-spec Civic, and among the changes will be the availability of the Type R’s engine. Importantly, the source also revealed that engine...

    Honda Hopes To Shed Dreary Image With New Civic Type R: Video

    There are plenty of cars that we can enjoy here in the United States. Of course, there is a long list of vehicles that remain forbidden fruit for those who love automobiles.

    Honda Fans Start Civic Type R Petition For U.S. Sales, But Don't Get Your Hopes Up

    The last bona-fide Type R model sold by Honda in the U.S. was the sprightly Integra Type R, sold under the Acura brand in the late 1990s. Many Type Rs have come and gone since then, but none of them have been sold in the U.S. With details of Honda's latest Civic Type R emerging, some U.S. Honda...

  • 2014 Honda Civic Si Coupe

    Honda has introduced a range of updates for its 2014 Civic and Civic Coupe models to help address a number of quality concerns following the introduction of the redesigned models in 2013. The changes add some refinement to the cabin and a bit of aggression to the look of the sporty Si models, with the latter also benefiting from a slight bump in horsepower. Honda has now revealed that the 2014 Civic Si Coupe will go on sale tomorrow, priced from $23,580 including a $790 destination charge. The 2014 Civic Si sedan follows on March 26 and will be priced from $23,780 including the same $790...

  • 2015 Honda Civic Type R

    Honda is hard at work developing a new hot hatch with 276 horsepower derived from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four and directed to the front wheels only. The car is the latest version of the Civic Type R that the rest of the world enjoys, but as with the previous generation the new one will be skipping the U.S. market. Part of the reason is due to our Civic being different to the one sold elsewhere. Furthermore, the Civic is seen as an econo car over here so Honda may be reluctant to launch a Civic-based model as its performance flagship locally. But the U.S. is still Honda’s biggest...

    2013 Honda Civic Revealed Ahead Of Los Angeles Debut

    When Honda launched its ninth-generation Civic in the U.S. market in 2011, the car was almost universally panned by the media, which collectively found it to be a giant step backward in materials and construction compared to the previous generation. Even Consumer Reports, long one of the...

    You may be wondering why Honda is out testing a facelifted version of its Civic, when the car was all-new just a year ago. Well, the main reason is the drab reviews the car has received since its launch at the 2011 New York Auto Show. With the likes of the new Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus, Hyundai...

    When it comes to new cars, $3,500 won’t buy you much. It can, however, get you a brand new Honda Civic Si body-in-white just begging to be built up into a custom racer. The Civic Si body-in-white is essentially the car’s chassis stripped of all its components except brakes, suspension...

  • 2012 Honda Civic Si with HFP package

    The latest iteration of the Honda Civic Si has underwhelmed critics, including our own reviewers at TheCarConnection, but Honda isn't letting the lukewarm reception get in the way of heating things up a bit.

The HFP package includes stiffer lowering springs, higher-performance dampers, 18x7-inch wheels, a full body kit, HFP floor mats, red ambient lighting, and HFP badges. The package will be available through dealers in all seven standard Civic Si colors. Only 500 kits will be offered, however, and...

    2012 Honda Civic Seats Are Safer, Lighter, Use Fewer Parts

    Car seats have a hard life. They're the one contact point in your car that you use 100 percent of the time, and they have to suffer hundreds of thousands of miles of your own and other peoples' rear-ends whilst remaining comfortable, and, above all, safe. The humble headrest is an oft-overlooked...

    Star Of Honda Ad Gets Lousy Deal From A Honda Dealer

    We tend to think that company spokespeople get a better deal in showrooms than the rest of us. For example, GM gave Tiger Woods a free ride -- many of them, in fact -- when he was Buick's shill. And although we can't say for sure, we have to believe that Mike Rowe gets more than a firm handshake...
