We all know that autoblog has the most reliable info there is so it must be true.
Like all the 86 rumours I will not believe one single word until there is an official press release from Honda.
While nothing is a sure bet its more likely that the CTR will be sold here than not. It's going to come down to cost and a boatload of other factors. Honda knows how badly they are missing a car for that segment though.

And that's from better sources than a C&D blog. Sadly it's still too little too late IMO.

I bet it will look nice from the side of the road waiting for a tow truck.

Yea maybe if it was built by Juan in Mexico or Clifford in Kentucky, but its gonna be built in Germany by a guy named Hans....so it'll break a little later but will cost a lot more oh and don't get me wrong, I love Hondas, I have an eg with a b16 but for the 30k+ that a ctr would cost before mark up, might as well get a RS or STi for a few more bucks.

2016 Civic inside, outside and underside

I found this video and pics of the 2016 Civic getting really upclose to the car. Also the first underside pics that I know of.

http://www.civicx.com/threads/2016-h...video-pics.72/

Eagerly waiting to see the Si/Type R version of this next gen.

IMO: unless they start making the civic smaller and lighter, they are just getting further away from what would make me want to buy one.

I had an 89 CRX and 91 civic, and with just a few suspension mods those cars were SOOOOO fun to drive! (low to the ground, low supportive seat, tight suspension, light weight, fun, fun ,fun)

The new civics (CRZ) are simply boring as fawk!

Wow.

That looks like a pretty big departure from previous FWD sedans. A real game changer.

unfortunately, even under camo, it is obvious this is going to have the same chrome "beak" as the refreshed 2016 Accord, in the style of Honda's infamous Acura "beaks". Aside from that, the car looks solid.

Hopefully, that's an option. I have absolutely no need to pay extra for that particular "feature".

You were being sarcastic right?

I was starting to actually get excited about this car until I saw the pictures.

Damn that's a big car. The Civic is now officially your Mom's car.

Coming in 2017.... the Honda Fit Sedan and Hatchback!
