2012 Euro-spec Honda Civic
Honda has released at the beginning of this week new details about the upcoming Euro-spec 2012 Civic five-door model. The car has been developed to provide maximum efficiency and comes with an aerodynamic shape with streamlined mirrors, a lower front fascia and drag-optimized taillights. Compared to the outgoing model, the new Civic is 20mm lower and 10mm wider which gives it a more masculine and aggressive stance which can be enhanced by the 17-inch wheels offered as an optional feature.
