FD1/2 Revision Confirmation

**ksyu223** · 28-03-2008 09:29 AM

Hi guys,

I can't bring myself to believe this, but my friends saw an advertisement on the Chinese newspapers (last week) announcing new revisions to the civic fd range (including vti). This includes reverse camera in-dash lcd, led rear tail-lights.

Is this correct or am I the fool for believing my friends???

EDIT: and also key-less start, where it can sense the keys from your pockets

I hope not! Picking up my new Sport in a couple of weeks!
They just put VSA into the Sport - I can't imagine they would not have put in these upgrades at the same time. Mine is an 08 model.

But then shit has been known to happen.

claim down 1st, doesn't these things usually happened a WHILE later after they release info in a press or something, plus China's and Australia's model are different??

I don't believe it myself as there's no sign of updates from online sources. I'm going to look at the papers when I get home.

P.S. It's from a Sydney/Chinese newspaper, not newspaper from China

didnt we hear that the civic is due for a revision this year. esp now that they have lowered the price for the civic vti as well. and perhaps vtil. but i wouldnt imagine it the same time as the accord euro debut sometime mid year. perhaps in between the euro debut and the jazz debut early 2009.

hope these updates arent that good. just bought mine as well. though i can do without the in dash reverse lcd (the little lcd near the rear view mirror works optimally). led tail lights and keyless start. and maybe vsa as well.

these updates are perhaps more in line with the mitsu lancer's features. good for honda but not so good for just new buyers.

funny. i was reading the newspaper in perth. civic vti use to be from 22790 or 23XXX. now its only 21790. and they are stressing the price reduction at least in the ads

**Frost_FD** · 28-03-2008 05:47 PM

Well i bought my car when it first came out and vti-L were 23990 and vti were 20990 for manual

oh my god.... thats gay for all those 06-08 civic owners... like... we are all lazy to put pull our keys from our pockets to start the engine... think of all that extra energy we are using just to do that... think honda should upgrade all the 06-08 civics the auto key feature for free...

lcd screen in dash would be unfair to all those who brought a double din!... dmx might be out of business!! haha
