No doubt the car magazines are already doing their in depth testing so it doesn't surprise me that people have already driven the new civic. I wonder when honda will lift the embargo on the reviews for the new civic. Some car companies allow the reviews to come out just before the on-sale date while others won't lift it until the day of.

They might let the press release it about a week earlier just like other major Honda release this year, cause I remember that August 10 is when the Accord get full press coverage, and then went on sales like August 19. Same thing with the Pilot where many journalist attend Honda test day a few weeks prior to launch. However, I haven't seen much of review for HR-V, which is odd.
