Replying to: jchan2 (Dec 28, 2004 3:57 pm) I have to wonder- will the Civic get its old Wishbone suspension back?   From the spy shots it looks like the front will be McPherson. There is not enough room for the double wishbone. I have to say though, the Si's McPherson suspension is just as good if not better than the 99's double wishbone.

#33 of 4597 Not necesssarily Euro by fdanna Jan 12, 2005 (4:00 am)
Those pictures could be of the US version as well. Honda's CEO had this to say at the North American Auto Show:   "The New Civic will have 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-door versions and feature a completely new body, plus four new engine options: a new version of the i-VTEC gas engine, a compressed natural gas power option, an improved hybrid system, and an advanced diesel. The award-winning i-CTDi diesel won’t be sold in the U.S. The natural gas powered Civic, to be built in Ohio, will be the cleanest internal combustion engine in the world."
#34 of 4597 Features on new Civic by mam262 Jan 12, 2005 (4:57 am)
Anyone have any thoughts or insights as per what features the new Civic will have? I.E. Climate control, in-dash CD changer, audio controls on the steering wheel? I think the Civic has some catching up to do considering what is available on the Mazada 3 and the new VW Jetta. Replies to this message: 307web (Jan 15, 2005 4:59 pm)

Replying to: mam262 (Jan 12, 2005 4:57 am) Of course no one knows or they would have posted that information without waiting for someone to ask. However, it is unlikely they are any more worried about matching features with a VW Jetta now than they were during the last redesign. It's not like the VW Jetta competes well on price or reliability. Even the Mazda 3 when loaded with features not available on a Civic get's very expensive for what it is. I suppose an in-dash CD changer could be possible in the EX since the 2005 Civic SE has that. You can also expect side curtain airbags and ABS standard.
#36 of 4597 Early release of '06 Civic? by otis12 Jan 20, 2005 (11:45 am)
What's the liklihood of the '06 Civic coming out before September? I ask because the competition has gotten stronger (Mazda 3, Kia Spectra5) and Civic sales are down. The spy pix of the'06 Civic look great. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Jan 21, 2005 5:23 am)

Replying to: otis12 (Jan 20, 2005 11:45 am) Very unlikley. Honda is a very lean manufacturing process. They would need to retool and update the machinery to start production of the the new model. This means that they would have to stop current production, and start re-tooling now for summer release. I think June/july is the last order for one year's model, and then the new years models start being produced some time in late July/early August to be delivered by September 15th. For Honda to release the new model in June, the factories would have to stop in February/March, very unlikley.   Acura's are usually released in April, so the new EL may, and I say MAY, be released in April. But that would kill the suprize factor that Honda likes, and will drop the current Civic sales, as people will be waiting for the new model.   If the new Civic is as revolutinary, and not Honda ususal EVOLUTIONARY change, there will be some deals on the current Civic come fall. I see a loaded EX/SE 4 door being sold for $15K or close with dealer incentives.
#38 of 4597 Civic debut in Feb? by otis12 Jan 22, 2005 (10:25 am)
According to an article at Edmunds, the '06 Civic will be publicly unveiled at the Chicago auto show next month. That is highly unusual for Honda and in part makes me wonder if the '06 Civic will also go on sale earlier than normal.
#39 of 4597 Antanov transmission? by otis12 Jan 22, 2005 (1:29 pm)
I also read that Honda licensed the Antanov transmission for use in future models. Any word if this tranny will be in the '06 Civic? That would truly make the vehicle revolutionary.
