If you were waiting with bated breath for an extraordinarily new and different-looking <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Civic/">Civic</a>, stop reading. The 2010 car falls solidly into the "extensive refresh" category rather than a full redesign.<br />
<br />
As you can see <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/10/spy-shots-2012-honda-civic-sedan-spied-almost-naked/#continued">in the spy video</a>, the front and rear fascias are updated; a new grille and bumper appear up front, while out back, all-new taillamps will be the most distinguishing visual element on the 2012 car. The overall profile of the Honda Civic sedan is clearly a carryover, however. <br />
<br />
Likewise, the interior has been mildly tweaked with a new steering wheel and some updated trim panels, but it's basically window dressing over the passenger cabin recent Civic owners are familiar with. (The bi-level instrumentation is there, and the radio, HVAC controls, and air vents are all in the same locations as the current car.)<br />
<br />
What powertrain changes (if any) Honda has in store still remain a mystery. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/10/spy-shots-2012-honda-civic-sedan-spied-almost-naked/#continued">Follow the jump</a> for a video of the new Civic out in the wild, and <a href="http://www.carmiddleeast.com/index.php/main/gallery/2079/Articles/0">head to Car Middle East for a complete photo gallery</a> of spy pics. <em>Thanks to all who sent tips.</em><br />
