Honda Civic Delays
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
If you’re waiting to get the ninth generation Honda Civic from your Mississippi Honda dealer, you’ll be waiting a little bit longer than expected. The ninth generation of the the Honda’s Civic compact will be delayed from fall 2010 until at least summer 2011. The redesign will also carry a 2010 model year designation, instead of 2011 as originally planned.
There are a few reasons for the delay. For one, the eighth generation model, which debuted in the fall of 2005, has been extrememly well received and remains among Honda’s best-selling current models. Another thing is that the company decided midway through the development of the next model to rein in plans to make it larger, heavier, and less fuel-efficient.
Instead, the focus will be on making the new Honda Civic about the same size as the outgoing model and to put it on a diet that will produce more nimble handing and improve fuel economy. So the new Civic is getting totally revamped from what it was originally planned to be in order to gain more sales.
