Although being compact, the Honda Civic is a heavyweight. The Civic debuted stateside in 1973, giving the American drivers a taste for the fuel-economy during a period when they needed it most. The first generation Honda Civic was offered in a coupe, three or five door hatchback, and five door station wagon. It operated on a 4-cylinder engine and also featured such Honda parts as power disc breaks, bucket seats, and an AM radio. The first generation Civic lasted until 1980, as Honda updated the car with the slightly larger body parts, a more powerful engine, and a 3-speed automatic transmission. The exterior accessories of the Honda Civic were also restyled for a more angled shape. In 1983, Honda released the Civic "t", a sportier version of the model with a firmer suspension, sports tires, and a 5-speed manual transmission.
Come 1984, the Honda Civic was firmly entrenched within the global automotive industry. A four-door wagon was introduced as a variant along with an additional coupe dubbed the CRX. The CRX was available in America as a three-door backed by a fuel-injected 12 valve engine. By the end of the 1980's, the Honda Civic parts would once again be updated, this time with a sleeker exterior shape, independent rear suspension, and every Civic model for sale in the US was equipped with fuel injection. The nineties are when the Civic began to take on a whole new persona. No longer seen as just a fuel-friendly compact sedan, the Honda Civic began to take on a reputation as a "tuner" vehicle for a younger demographic. Both its low slung body and peppy performance were seen as popular attributes, giving Honda a whole new market to explore.
The Honda Civic is still going strong. In fact, it may be stronger than ever. Now in its 36th year, the model is currently available in five different trim levels with a host of optional Honda parts and accessories for drivers to choose from. But it's the efficient way it is packaged why it continues to play such a role. The interior has been redesigned with a two-tier dash and digital display. The Civic is also backed by a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine good for 140 horsepower (except the Si, which houses a 2.0L engine that dishes out 197 horsepower and comes with six-speed manual transmission). The Honda Civic Hybrid uses a 1.3L 4-cylinder gas engine along with a 20 horsepower electric motor that demonstrates 45 miles per gallon on the highway.
There are some cars that were designed to be efficient. And of course, there are others that are built strictly for performance. With the Honda Civic, drivers get the best of both worlds. While this vehicle has always remained towards the front of the pack, it is no small feat that its popularity steadily climbs from generation to generation. From the intuitive handling to the sleek style and back to the extra "pop" you get on the blacktop, it's easy to see why the Honda Civic still occupies center-stage.

Honda has been selling natural gas powered compact passenger cars for more than ten years. For 2012, Honda Civic line consists of Civic, Civic Si, Civic Hybrid, and Civic HF (already offered at dealers), and Civic Natural Gas which used to be called Civic GX. The last of the line Civic is actually the only natural gas powered OEM-built passenger car available for sale in the U.S. and it will be available at dealers in autumn. At the moment the Civic Natural Gas is sold in just four states (New York, Oklahoma, Utah and California), but Honda is expanding its retail sales to nation-wide.
Operating entirely on Compressed Natural Gas and driving just like the gasoline model, the Civic Natural Gas is 12.5% more fuel efficient in the city and 5.5% more effective on the highway compared to its predecessor. What helps to preserve the exclusive properties of Natural Gas is the intake and exhaust regulators, special fuel injectors, and valve seats. The model's fuel tank is situated among the rear wheels. A higher compression ratio is achieved due to stronger connecting rods and special pistons. Honda's special ECO Assist technology is included to improve efficient vehicle operation. This technology also provides a visual feedback for efficient driving style confirmation. As a vehicle which runs on fossil fuels, it produces the lowest CO2, rather than all vehicles, except for a couple of hybrids. The vehicle is likely to please customers with big concern for environment. Honda Civic Natural Gas was already approved by the environment-concerned authorities of California. While back in 2009 the sales of the CNG-burner went up after it was graded as the greenest vehicle in the land multiple times by the ACEEE (American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy), new Civic GX will surely gain popularity.
The Honda Civic Si Concept coupe and Civic Concept sedan made their world debuts at the 2011 NAIAS. The revealed models will probably not keep their concept status for too long, as they underpin the styling direction of the ninth-generation Civic set to go on sale this spring.
As it has been already mentioned in the press, the Civic Concept looks pretty much similar to the current model. The most significant differences are a more energetic styling with smoothed-up lines and big 19-inch wheels. No official specs for the 2012 Civic has been announced yet, but the company plans the 2012 range to include conventional gasoline models, two sport-style Si performance versions, one hybrid and a natural gas model. The Civic hybrid will feature a lithium-ion battery pack, and according to Honda reps, most Civic models will also come with Honda Eco Assist technology, previously used on hybrids only.
The Civic concept has got a warm welcome at the Detroit Auto Show, but its up to the production car to indicate whether the Civic remains as popular as the previous generations.
