Tallahassee, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/26/2011 -- This year has marked the exciting release of the newly redesigned ninth generation 2012 Honda Civic in FL. In addition to the new redesign of the Honda Civic, two all-new models have been introduced, the Civic HF and Civic Hybrid. All new 2012 Civics have been designed to even better meet the various needs of the compact-car buyer and truly have a lot to offer.

The exterior of the 2012 Civic, available for FL Honda Civic shoppers, is extremely sporty in nature, with an aggressive look that is defined by a steeply raked windshield, a wide stance and pronounced character lines along the sides. All Civics come with 19-inch machined alloy wheels. The goal of this new Honda Civic is to expand upon the current model’s signature motion, mono-form design that is timeless, while also emphasizing high energy and boldness.

“The Civic is the only model in the industry that can deliver on all fronts – fuel economy, sporty performance, smart packaging, alternative fuel and long-term value,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

The new models being introduced are the Civic HF and Civic Hybrid models. Returning this year will be the Civic Sedan, Civic Coupe and Civic GX Natural Gas models, all of which are estimated to achieve improved fuel economy compared to current models.

Furthermore, the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid, exciting FL Honda Civic shoppers, has lithium-ion batteries, which marks the first time that Honda has used that type of battery.

“For the ninth generative Civic, we are emphasizing improved fuel economy across the board, from the hybrid sedan to the sporty SI model,” continued John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
