New Honda Civic.

ive seen a photo somewhere of a possible i will see if i can dig it up. i remember the back looks very alpha ish!
 
I think the pic the OP put up looks alot like a Sirocco.Not a bad look admittedly as I love the look of the VW but thought it would be a bit radical like the FN2 was when it came out.
 
Well lets hope it doesn't come with the grey lower seals and rear lip. At least the same colour or black.
The pic on netcarshow looks more like a FD2.
 
Browsing the net and remember this from the OP?

I hadn't realised that there was an actual prototype at the 2008 British motor show, named OSM Concept.

From OP:

Found this evening, looks very similar to the first pic:

Found a rough translation of this, but no extended version.

TOV Reader Frank Oppermann sent in this scan from the pages of the June.09 issue of Mag-X. I bounced them back across the Atlantic to danielgr, our resident multilingual specialist and he provided a quick rundown on the contents of these pages. He will provide more details (if there are any) after he has had more time to review what's said. Following is the e-mail response from Daniel:

Hi Jeff,
Right now I don't have the time, nor the required dictionary to really go through it, but I can tell you what they are talking about in short.

Top-left is the CR-Z picture (the 21st century CR-X), from which they say:
- 1.5L engine with both CVT and 6MT available.
- Monthly target sales : 850 JP, 2500 Europe, 1500 North America.
- Expect to see a production prototype in this year's Tokyo Motor Show.
- Expect an introduction in early 2010

The rest, the main article, is about the next-generation Civic.
- (warning) Not 100% sure, but it seems that there will be a "Japanese version" with a body in between a 3box (sedan) and 2 box (hatch). The internationally sold Hybrid will have that "unique" (outside Japan) body. Otherwise, Europe will keep on having hatches developed within the Fit platform, and NA their traditional sedan and coupe.
- The hybrid will be THE Honda going head to head with the Prius, and use a 1.5L engine + motor ( I guess they are guessing it will be pretty close to the CR-Z unit...).
- Expect new Civics to arrive in 2011.

The old picture of the 72 Civic echoes their comments on the supposed "unique" styling of the "new JDM Civic". They say that at the time Honda surprised Japan with a 2 box FF car when Corollas and Sunny's were 3box FR sedans. So basically it's something like : "Honda did it again" (i.e. find their own original way).

I won't be able to tell you accurately about the part marked with with "warning" until tonight. They also say something about the TypeR, but I understand it sooooo roughly that I won't say anything about it.

JDM version here - Chassis code HC as was FD in the 8th gen:

This got posted on Facebook by Honda.

The 2012 Honda Civic - Official Site

In this newly released sketch, the feeling of the new Civic is captured as energetic, sleek and aerodynamic. It's a preview for this upcoming concept vehicle, which will be shown at the 2011 North American International Auto Show in January. The production version of the ninth-generation Civic based on the revealed concept will go on sale in spring 2011.

It's got a Red H on the front as well...

Intriguing.

Would be nice to see something more rendered - as that has an element of caricature-age about it. Intriguing nonetheless.
