    A Civic with flair

    The value shared by every Civic was driving fun and usability that balanced nimble handling, economy and environmental performance, and an efficient package. With this Civic, Takahashi and his team wanted to raise those qualities to a level that leads the next era, and then build a car with flair that excites you when you see it, ride in it and drive it, so they rethought their approach to building cars from the beginning.
