FastMotoring Motor News In Speed

In May, we reported some spyshot over the Honda Civic Euro edition being spied. The hot hatch that is said to be rival VW’s Golf and Scirocco. Recently some fellas in Germany manage to caught the below spy shot video and upload it to Youtube outside Honda’s Germany Office. No one is sure about what is hidden beneath the heavily disguise vehicle. It could be a entirely new model from Honda, or it could be a version of Honda Civic Euro to replace the 5-door hatch since what we reported earlier was a 3 door version.

This also reminded me that it was awhile ago, in a Japanese magazine that illustrated what could be the next generation of Honda Civic. Looking at the illustration of the next generation of Honda Civic and the spyshot video, i’m suspected it this could apply to JDM Honda Civic as well. We’ll just have to wait for more spyshot or some official teaser till’ then. While this is rumored to be new Civic for us and it is some what like Proton Wira Aeroback type, i’m not too sure this version of Civic will be favorable in our market. Hopefully we will able to see some high performance ECO-friendly engine developed by Honda as a variant to replace the Civic Type R that has been continued in Euro as well as Japan as the K20A engine does not meet the emission standards. Honda also confirmed that there’s a new/updated gasoline-electric hybrid engine being developed for the Civic. Enjoy the Honda Civic Spyshot Video Below !

You might heard of Honda and Toyota update their models every 5 years. The current Honda Civic in our land, or Honda Civic Euro still looks great after 5 years. Many wonders when will the next generation of Civic coming ? In fact, as reported the new generation of Honda Civic is in works! Both Civic Euro (hatchback) and Sedan of Civic was launched in 2005.

The Honda Civic Euro or FN2 has been spied doing some testing and prototyping. The photos here were edited by me to give you a closer look of an illustration version of the upcoming Civic Euro 2012 as compare to the spyshot taken. The illustration shows a more aggressive looking of Civic 2012 that gives a little bit like the VW Scirocco.

The spied Civic 2012 prototype is very much similar with the current Civic. However it looks like the chassis remain unchanged but it does look slighted wider. As speculated, there might be a hybrid engine for the Civic 2012 too.

This prototype Honda Civic Euro 2012 is disguised with fakely mounted front bumper of the current Civic. After we inspect the photos carefully the photo reveals that there’s actually another bumper behind of the existing bumper on what we saw. The current front bumper on 1st glance is to disguise the real design bumper for Civic 2012 behind.

The new upcoming Honda Civic 2012 Euro is expected to launch in mid of 2012. With this, Honda Fans can hope to see the JDM version or the predecessor of Honda Civic FD2 will be probably slight later after the Euro Civic.
