Typically, most automakers stick to a relatively strict five-year product cycle for their highest-selling, most important products. The Honda Civic<\/a>, for example, debuted in September of 2005, so realistically, a new model should be just around the corner, right? Not exactly.<\/p>\n

In an interview with AutoWeek<\/em>, American Honda<\/a> executive vice president John Mendel said that changing market conditions and tougher fuel economy and emissions regulations have strongly affected the development of the next-generation Civic, meaning that the new model won’t come until sometime in 2011. AW<\/em> also reports that the Civic’s redesign has been altered along the way – the new model was supposed to be larger than the current model, but now it has been redesigned to be closer in size to the current one (pictured above).<\/p>\n

What’s more, with hot new products like the 2012 Ford Focus<\/a> on deck, Honda will certainly have to up the ante on the Civic’s level of equipment, style and refinement. The Civic is still one of the world’s best-selling cars: about one million are moved each year. And with the U.S. accounting for approximately one-third of those sales, Honda would be wise to ensure that the next-generation Civic will be attractive enough to keep it in the top tier of high-selling vehicles in the States.<\/p>\n
