toughness page 10 Why Civic. We can start by stating the things everybody knows about Honda vehicles. They’re effıcient, reliable, they’ll run for a generation and when you’re ready to part with it, you’ll be amazed at the resale value. But if you’re considering a coupe, all those virtues need to be balanced with the meat and muscle components of the Coupe equation. What the Civic Coupe provides beyond all that goodness is a unique driving experience. Quick, agile and responsive, one drive in the Coupe and the answer will be, “Why anything else?” ▲ looks cool exterior styling 3 Somebody once said it’s more important to look good than to feel good. Unfortunately, some cars in this class take that literally. We don’t think you have to choose between one or the other. The Civic Coupe’s styling is fresh, crisp and modern. The Special Edition goes the extra mile with special aluminum-alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and upscale audio with an MP3-compatible 6-disc in-dash CD changer. As for the feel-good part, the Civic Coupe has lots of room for you and four friends.

Honda engine technology is nothing short of legendary. In the Civic Coupe, it combines outstanding smoothness with inspiring power and the durability of a sledgehammer. Value Package and LX models are rated at 115 horsepower, the lean-burn HX puts out 117, and the EX tops out at 127 horses. Featuring the additional sophistication of variable valve timing and lift electronic control (VTEC®), there’s more power and torque at every point of the rev band in the EX model and enhanced fuel effıciency1 in the HX model. All models are certifıed as Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicles (ULEV). To tailor the Civic to your driving style, you can have a 5-speed manual transmission, a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic or, on the HX, an ultra- efficient continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Soichiro Honda founded the Honda Motor Company in 1948 to provide people with affordable, dependable transportation. Wıthin a few short years, Honda was one of the world’s preeminent motorcycle manufacturers. At Honda, we believe that the fırst step in making a good product is to listen to people and understand their needs. This core value is reflected in almost everything we do, like designing and building our products in the markets where they’re used. In the importance we place on safety engineering and on being friendlier to the environment. And in our belief that the power of ingenious thinking can make great things possible.

Plenty of red, white and blue. ▲ Honda has been assembling cars in the U.S. since 1982. Today, we benefit from the efforts of almost 25,000 American associates. Close to 4 out of 5 Honda vehicles sold in the U.S. are assembled in North America. And our network of almost 600 U.S. suppliers makes more than 90% of the content that goes into those North American Honda vehicles.

▲ Imagination unbound. Honda innovation is reestablishing the boundaries in aerospace technology with the HondaJet – a highly fuel-efficient, low-emission experimental aircraft with exceptional cabin space. And Honda’s ASIMO is the world’s most advanced and capable humanoid robot. ▼ We have a clear edge. Since our pioneering CVCC engines of the ‘70s, Honda has led the way in Earth-friendlier cars. Today, every Honda is a Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) or better. Our natural-gas Civic GX is the cleanest internal-combustion vehicle the EPA has ever tested.4 Only Honda offers three hybrid vehicles.5 And now, our advanced zero-emission FCX fuel-cell car is the first certified for commercial use in the U.S.

“A c o mpany is most clearly defined neither by its people nor by its history, but by its products. Our products will speak the truth about Honda.”
