We already know what the dash is looking like. The patent images and some spy pictures of the dash from testers. And the 5 door won't be out for at least another year because of the euro hatch being a bit behind in the redesign timeline compared to the US civic.So, how long do we have to wait before they start giving us more images on the Honda site? I'd like to know what the dash will look like [a very important part of the equation because that is what I will be seeing most of the time].
And when might we know if there will be a 5 door hatch coming to the USA, and when?
From what i've seen and from what I can make sense of them showing off the coupe, sedan and hatch all at once is going to be ideal. Being a global volume product its what will get it off to the right start once order books open.Everyone thinks that we are going to see something in Frankfurt. It could be the sedan, the coupe, or both. I assume that we will get more information when those are revealed. Not too long of a wait any more.
I just feel like if they were going to reveal a production hatch... we would have seen it already... patent images... spy shots (other than the test mules). Maybe maybe they'll have the production coupe and sedan and a hatch concept car, but that seems a bit derivative at this point since it's going to have an identical front end to the coupe and sedan.From what i've seen and from what I can make sense of them showing off the coupe, sedan and hatch all at once is going to be ideal.

That's pretty much the only thing we haven't seen is the gauge cluster. They've kept it under wraps. They won't show the full blown interior until the rest of the car debuts... unless someone catches a spy shot somewhere before then.I saw a dash pic that was still being somewhat hidden, . . . and no real look at the gauge cluster, so I'm still needing to see that.
Should be. We don't know 100% for sure. But the timeline of release for the civic says yes, Frankfurt will be the show we will finally get all the details.We'll probably have to wait until the whole car debuts or the hope that they show a bit more at the Frankfurt auto show. The 10th gen will be there right?
I think Frankfurt is the only logical choice for them to show it and then get the X in stores before year end like they said...Should be. We don't know 100% for sure. But the timeline of release for the civic says yes, Frankfurt will be the show we will finally get all the details.
There are alot of car companies revealing new cars this year for sure. I've seen alot of teasers on MotorTrend already. But that's also why they allow time slots for each company to do a big reveal/press release show so that each automaker gets their time in the spotlight and it isn't a competition of who draws a crowd. But honestly, any large autoshow like Frankfurt, Geneva, LA, etc is going to risk some cars getting overshadowed by others, it just depends on how good of a show honda puts on.I think Frankfurt is the only logical choice for them to show it and then get the X in stores before year end like they said...
The only thing is the Frankfurt show this year is supposed to be massive. I wouldn't be surprised if Honda is worried about the X getting lost in the sound and fury...
That might be motivation for them to build up more hype around the Civic leading up to the show just to get all those eye balls before and waiting.I think Frankfurt is the only logical choice for them to show it and then get the X in stores before year end like they said...

Agreed. Though, in the past honda has almost always been totally silent on details until the big reveal happens. But i think instead they might stir up some more publicity for the event if they released a small series of teaser images to really get the journalists excited for their booth.That might be motivation for them to build up more hype around the Civic leading up to the show just to get all those eye balls before and waiting.
For sure, I was referring more to the media cycle. Civic is going to get buried under all kinds of unobtainable candy...but then again it is a popular global model that is obtainable for masses of people... there may be enough traffic potential for them to try and keep Civic news top of mind... but does your average car shopper read car blogs...hmmmThere are alot of car companies revealing new cars this year for sure.

I feel like the majority of people would go somewhere like Motortrend or Car and Driver to look at new cars. It's an easy way to read reviews and get an impression of a car. Or even something like consumer reports.For sure, I was referring more to the media cycle.
