2013 Honda Civic Changes

Honda recently brought along their 2013 Civic to the 2013 Accord dealer viewings States-side and we have some preliminary information from insiders about the changes coming to the 2013 Civic. It appears that the DX model will no longer exist with the LX model becoming the entry trim level. Standard feature content will increase with a backup camera standard in every model, standard Bluetooth and standard i-MID screen. The front end will be overhauled with a completely new hood, new headlights and revised grill and a new lower intake designed for better aerodynamics and the rear end will receive new taillights. Interior-wise, the quality has been stepped up considerably in areas where the 2012 Civic has been criticized for; the dash and seats. The dashboard will receive a massive overhaul. It looks like the 2013 Civic Sedan will receive most of the exterior and interior modifications while the 2013 Civic Coupe remains the same on the outside but still receives the interior changes.  

This comes on the heels of an announcement made by Honda executives to Honda's R&D in the US that the next-generation North American Civic (should debut in 2016-2017) will be completely developed in North America.
