Civic Concept Sketch - Click above for high-res image
Here's our first official glimpse at the face of the next-generation
Honda Civic. This sketch is intended to give the world an idea of what we can expect from the Civic show car Honda will display at the
Detroit Auto Show in January. From the looks of things, the compact coupe will take the look of the current Civic and throw in some additional attitude. Along with some aggressively swept headlamps reminiscent of the European Civic Type R, the sketch also shows off a fascia with more menacing proportions. A large air inlet down low and slit fog lights help pull the car from the throws of anonymity.
Of course, it's always difficult to tell what will survive the transition between design sketch and reality. We don't expect to see those huge wheels nor the wildly flared hips make their way to production. Speaking of production,
Honda has a long history of rolling out concepts that are nearly identical to the real deal, so keep your eyes on Detroit for what could be the first look at the next Civic.

Honda says the new 2012
Honda Civic is inspired by the concept above. Can we hold you to that, Honda? Because this isn't bad. The concept will bow at Detroit next month, with the real car debuting spring 2011.

The natural gas-burning
Honda Civic GX has been around since 1998, and even though the Environmental Protection Agency anointed it the cleanest internal combustion vehicle in history, sales have been less than brisk.
There are quite a few reasons the Civic doesn't sell in high volume, including a hefty $25,000 price tag and the $4,600 required to install a home refueling station. But according to our comrades over at Translogic, that won't stop the Japanese automaker from offering up a new GX for the 2012 model year.
The new GX will still likely cost quite a bit more than the standard Civic and it will still need a pricey home charging unit, but improvements will also be made. For example,
Honda spokesperson Jessica Fini tells Translogic that consumer feedback complaining about the levels of available equipment on the last GX prompted the automaker to offer more "desirable options like a navigation system and upgraded stereo."
We're happy to hear that the GX will live on in 2012 and beyond. After all, it's tough not to love an environmentally friendly Civic that can deliver about 30 miles per gallon at fuel prices that can be one third the price of regular gasoline. We'll be looking out for details on the 2012 GX, along with the entire Civic lineup in the months ahead.

2012 Honda Civic spy shots - Click above for high-res image gallery
After seeing a
handful of spy shots of the next-generation Euro-spec
Honda Civic, the North American car is finally starting to show up out roaming the heat-soaked roads of Death Valley. When the new Civic arrives next year, it won't be that much larger than the current car, and the overall shape looks to have stayed the same, though substantial changes to the front and rear fascias are definitely on deck.
Our spies were able to get a peek inside the Civic's cabin, showing that the two-tiered dash theme from the current car will likely be carried over to the new Civic. This means we can expect a digital speedometer on the top shelf with an analog tach below, and while we've never been big fans of this arrangement, it has its adherents among Civic fans.
We're not expecting to see the Civic debut until sometime in 2011, possibly at the
Detroit or
New York auto shows. For now, check out Honda's latest prototype from all angles in our gallery below.

The
Honda Civic, America's most trusted automotive appliance, is getting a makeover for 2012 and here's the first leather-wrapped glimpse. Kinda bland from what we can see. Hopefully they've got a more interesting Si model under development. [
