Jeff and I drove a number of 2006 Civics on Thursday. We have a vast amount of information from Honda and an initial driving impression of several models, including the Si. Stay tuned to the TOV at 12:00.01 08/31/2005 for a flood of information on all the new Civic models.

well according to the Eastern Honda dealership we are only getting the sedan because its the only civic made in thailand... would cost too much to ship the other models to australia from UK/America
we are gettign 3 different engines, being the R18 (1.8L SOHC i-vtec 105kw, a hybrid and an unconfirmed engine)
dont get excited tho, word is that the unconfirmed engine is going to be a diesel, so we aint getting a hot sedan like the eg9 (or was it EF9 i forget)
and in further news the teggy is going outta production in 2006 (expect run out sales) and there are no replacements for a affordable sports car
so basically honda will be = nissan...a dealership full of staid, boring cars with the only car u want (the s2k) being unaffordable
tats really damn nice.. just hope we can get it :o
well even tho we wont get it first off... mebbe once the 2006 sedans have settled down they might bring it here
same thing happened with the Eks coming first before the EMs
Guys i just saw the pic of the 2006 Australian civic sedan. Not bad at all, the back is very american but i love the front.
Cant wait for the release
does it look anything like this????
asian version...

meh, not as hot as the older civics, but that is a path honda chose long ago.
shame it seems we wont get the hotter models or engines, but we always get stuffed around with in australia.
to be honest i dont think the sedan pic above is too bad, but not something i would buy as there are plenty of nicer cars other than honda these days...
any chance of you posting that pic? :)Quote:

civic has become the new "accord" mid sized family sedan...with the current accord moving upmarket
no cant put up pick, was on the managers cpu might get into trouble.
It does look like the one posted just before but had different wheels
EDIT: the 'official pics' of the 06 USDM civics are up in the Appearance/Gallary section...
It kinda looks like a panther come to think of it... just the vague shape of a panther's head...

New Civic Leads Quartet of Models Debuting at the Frankfurt Motor Show
September 1, 2005 - Honda Motor Europe Ltd. announced today that Honda will display an exciting quartet of new and reinvigorated models at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show (September 17th – 25th; Press days September 13th & 14th).

New Civic Hybrid
The highlight of Honda’s show will be the public debut of the new Civic, just six months after the concept version appeared at the Geneva Motor Show. Honda will also be giving a world debut to the all-new Civic Hybrid, which is expected to deliver a world leading level of emissions performance with the improved Honda hybrid system. With an enhanced Accord range and reinvigorated Honda S2000 also due to be unveiled at the show, Honda is expected to deliver a stunning display.
In addition to the quartet of new and revised models, Honda will also be exhibiting the European Legend Prototype, and a Technical Display showing Legend’s advanced safety systems such as the Pop-up Hood designed to reduce pedestrian head injury, Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS), and Intelligent Night Vision System.
A press conference is scheduled for September 13th from 11:15 (CEST), at the Honda booth.
The New Civic for Europe
This eighth generation of the vehicle promises to set new standards in the highly competitive European C-segment and particularly in its premium sector. The new Civic is remarkable in that the transformation from concept to production has seen little change to the exterior design.
The new Civic combines striking styling with clever packaging. A dynamic wedge-shaped cab-forward design is key to the new model; however, flexibility and packaging have not been compromised. The tandem distance*, which is a key indicator of in-car roominess, is on a par with some larger D-segment contenders. Utility is provided by rear seats that have a one-motion, dive down feature instantaneously creating a flat loading space, as well as a unique cargo floor that can either conceal items stored beneath it or be dropped down to reveal the under-floor compartment.
The new range is available with a choice of three engines, all making their debut in the Civic. The 1.8-liter is a completely new unit and benefits from innovation in the i-VTEC system and promises fuel economy on a par with that of a 1.5-liter engine but the off-the-line acceleration equivalent to that of a 2.0-liter. The range will also feature Honda’s acclaimed 2.2 i-CTDi diesel engine, which will establish a new benchmark in the segment, and a 1.4 i-DSI (intelligent-Dual and Sequential Ignition) unit producing no more than 143 g/km of CO2.
Honda has ensured that the new car will be one of the safest in its class and the model benefits from standard features such as ABS with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) and an innovative seat belt reminder system for the rear passengers. The company expects that the new Civic will achieve Euro NCAP ratings of 5 stars for front and side impact safety, 3 stars for pedestrian safety and 4 stars for child protection safety.
looks good
man the concept si was the best... with blacken headlights
>.<
wow that civic sedan actually looks hot! the headlight change is awesome!
looks liek a cross between a bmw 3 series front and a mini Euro accord
if the handling and R18 engine is good we might see a new wave of civic owners on ozhonda :) (unlike the severe lack of ppl on forums who bought the Vi)
