Honda News: Spying: 2016 Honda Civic Coupe Makes An Early Appearance

[William Maley]

Next at the LA Auto Show, Honda will unveil the coupe version of the Civic. But thanks to an eagle-eye spy photographer, we have our first peek at what the production coupe will look like.

 

While the Civic coupe in the photo has the same bright green color as the concept shown at the New York Auto Show earlier this year, the production model is toned down a bit with no rear wing or distinctive front bumper. But the basic shape is all there.

 

It's expected the Civic coupe will feature the same 2.0L four-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower and turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine with 174 horsepower as found in the sedan.

 

We'll have full details of the coupe when it is shown at the LA Auto Show next week.

Wow, So Honda is so short on Inspiration that they have to copy the Butt Ugly air scopes from the Toyota Hydrogen car?

Cost of auto's has changed who has them and people who do buy auto's wants an easy access for more than 2 people. Very limited market for 2 door auto's anymore other than the diminishing eco box area and the ubber rich 2 door performance machines. 

 

Most people want performance with hauling people as to why we see 4 door sedans and CUV/SUVs that can burn rubber.

Not yet. I expect we'll see that in Detroit.
