Any news for a new model?

mfosbrooke · 8th May 2008, 17:34

Does any one know or want to take a guess when the next gen of civic will be released?

Kremmen · 8th May 2008, 19:11

I'll guess at March 2012 probably the 15th at 10:00

warmit123 · 8th May 2008, 19:40

Ask a silly question!! And what do you get?

mfosbrooke · 8th May 2008, 20:15

nah it aint silly personally i reakon there might be rumors as soon as next year but wonderd if some one was already in the know because i bet things are already happening.

Chris_J · 8th May 2008, 20:30

It's only been out 2 years. A facelift maybe, but I don't reckon a new Gen.

civicg · 8th May 2008, 23:23

The civic has been so successful I cannot see them replacing the model for at least 4-5 years.

I do think, or HOPE that they introduce a facelift, in it I would like:

Colour coding the plastic
Rear light clusters revamped (White or something)
Bi Xenon Projectors

Perhaps a performance diesal!

mfosbrooke · 9th May 2008, 07:01

For the performance diesal side of things theres a few topics on here about the type rd which as far as i can see is just the 2.2 engine with a new mod chip on. Well as long as there are no rumors im gona trade in my meriva and get my self a type r nxt year then.

Beware the ides of march!

I'm fairly sure there'll be an MMC (facelift) in autumn this year and a brand new model in 2010.

Kremmen · 9th May 2008, 07:24

2010 !

That's only 4 years.

You could be right:

Gen 1 - 1973 > 1979
Gen 2 - 1980 > 1983
Gen 3 - 1984 > 1987
Gen 4 - 1988 > 1991
Gen 5 - 1992 > 1995
Gen 6 - 1996 > 2000
Gen 7 - 2001 > 2005
Gen 8 - 2006 > Present

They do seem quite short lifespans compared to other manufacturers.

It's a totally new 2.2 engine, with 180bhp, which comes from the forthcoming new Accord. Honda have stated it will only go ahead if they can find a way to get it to rev REALLY high, like a VTEC.

alanwalne · 9th May 2008, 08:56

The 08 MY was a mini face lift as it has a new floorpan and other slight amendments to improve crash protection.

Brodick · 9th May 2008, 09:48

the civic's lifespan is anything from 4 - 6 yrs

in past years there has been a facelift approx 3 yrs into the cars lifespan
with an all new model coming out at the end of it's 5yr beginning of it's 6th yr

that is going by the last few civics

so facelift should be beck end of this yr / beginning of next year

might be the back end of 2010 or it might be beginning of 2011
be surprised if it last any longer than that

From what I know the face lift is done about 1-1.5 year before the new one comes out. Approx. every 4-5 yrs. a new model comes out. I had my last Honda (a 5d '97 1.4) for 9 years and with out any probs what so ever. LONG LIVE HONDA

babyjoe · 10th May 2008, 19:18

This high-revving diesel business is absurd.
Insurance and road tax for 180hp vs 136hp will not be a laughing matter.
I am pleased that they are going to offer auto gearbox on the 136hp (but perhaps not yet on facelift model).

I for one am waiting 'till confirmation of facelift Civic before deciding which to buy, and am willing to wait 'till end of year. They could indeed do some minor redesign of the rear.

rx_shorty · 10th May 2008, 23:31

*sigh I don't hope they will release a facelift soon... heh...
Why? I'm just going to get this car... don't want to drive a old model over a year :P

I hope around 2010 they release a new one...

Kremmen · 11th May 2008, 05:47

When they do release a new model don't get one within the first year or two.

This model is now 2+ years in and we are still hearing of occasional problems that some dealers are reluctant to deal with, and HUK are also becoming more reluctant to fix under warranty.

angie4m · 11th May 2008, 13:09

Peopl forget that although the 8th Gen Civic was built from 2006 onwards, they were also still building the EP3 until the end of 2006/start of 2007. So the 7th gen had a slightly longer lifespan due to the Type R.

I know when BMW make face lift changes they are very discreet on the outside, but they always introduce a new gear box and better engine too.

mfosbrooke · 11th May 2008, 18:13

think that maybe this years uk motor show might have some nice cars i know honda have a new honda expericance stand there wonder if they have anything else.
