Model year 2007 model?

pengin · 29th July 2006, 15:43

Hi, about to order an ES CTDI with parking sensors. Managed to get about £900 of list price

(well, seem quite good to me - not a good haggler!) Have been told that nighthawk black or alabasta silver would arrive start of sept, and any other colour would be end of sept, since it would be a 2007 version. Huh?!

I didn't know anything about the new version! Dealer doesn't seem to know much either! Says there shouldn't be much difference, but take Jazz as an example, which gained an audio input for mp3 players etc.

Anyone got any ideas if it worth waiting for? Am quite torn between the Galaxy Grey and Nighthawk Black, which would be 2006/2007 resp.

I did like that colour, but do you not think it could be just a type-S colour?

umm possible i guess, but seeing as someone said glaxy grey was going there ought to be a replacement.

Then again I read someone on the 2ta webblog that:

I have just dropped a note to Honda CS to see what the difference will be. (As mine is coming Sept could be either)

I've been waiting on a delivery date for my EX for about 6 weeks and it has been showing end Oct/Nov (but with a * meaning not a clue). My dealer called Honda logistics for me and was told they'd run out of the 06 model in black with leather.

He was told no specification changes to the 07 civic but hopefully there may be the odd bug fix, and possibly a newer Sat Nav DVD. (is anyone tracking the DVD versions on this site? We could possibly, ahem, help each other here...

Cheers

PS - If anyone is wondering why I ordered a car with no delivery date then I'm on an employee ownership scheme so can wait. Sad to see my Accord go the other day (though I'd bought it off the scheme and made some cash for civic extras

.

The 2.2 Civic would have felt great after my 2.0 accord tourer (no need for such a big car now..), mainly due to all the toys. After the POS 307 I'm driving now it will be awesome.........

I am glad I managed to snag my cosmic grey one, guess it will have an air of exclusivity moving forward

, fancied a milano red when I was looking but didn't like the queue and hate polishing

Stretch, I have the Milano red, it almost glows when it is clean, but after 5000 miles is full of minor scratches, although the Meguiars is great at reducing them. I had to wait 14 weeks or so because I wanted the red, apparantly Honda didn't anticipate the demand for the red so didn't plan to make as many. I have only ever seen 5.

Maldax · 1st August 2006, 17:56

Just had a mail from Honda CS regarding the 2007 Model

Quote:

Thank you for your email to the Honda Contact Centre. The only changes are to the Civic Sport - which will now have Front fog lights and a leather steering wheel as standard. The other models will remain the same.

Man! i must have stepped on a time machine and travelled to the future, because i have them on my -06 civic

. Thank god for nice accessories

MC Hammer · 1st August 2006, 18:27

For 2007 Cosmic grey goes Galaxy grey stays. One less grey to choose from.
Nobody seems sure if a new colour will replace that grey, but I expect there will be, probably that bronze colour seen at the Motor show.

Yeah red looks great offsets the grey plastic parts nicely, the only downside is the red isn't metallic so needs lots of cleaning and polishing to keep it looking good, nice and shiny... me I am just lazy so the cosmic grey blends in the grey plastic and had mine supagarded and so a wash every other week a bit of top up cream once a month and jobs done.. Must remember to grab some rain-x now the weather's turned and we're getting showers.

Thanks Maldax and fishyuk. Nice to know that I've not missed out on anything by being slightly impatient with my order! Come on September!

The Great Soprendo · 4th August 2006, 14:17

Not sure what this means but when I quizzed my fleet manager yesterday about my order he said that the factory weren't accepting any orders yesterday or today, but by Monday they will re-open to orders for new build (presumably except those that have already been made) based on 2007 spec. But since for most models that makes no difference I don't think this information is very useful! Probably just means that I'll have a longer wait (no delivery date yet but my current car's lease is up at the end of Sept so if it's ready before then it'll have to sit at the dealership while I wait...
