84davidson · 09-19-2007, 02:52 PM

Has anyone seen any 2008 civic coupes at dealerships is so what models and colors .I have not seen any coupes in Pa. just civic sedans so far

DeltaII5 · 09-19-2007, 06:17 PM

I ordered mine the first of September. They said the end of the month it shoudl be in, I wanted navi so they had to order it. I figure the end of the month they should be in dealerships.

for Ontario...I know that they dont come til october
usually sedans come first (sept)

Honda didn't change anything for the 08 civics..wow a EX-L thats over priced thats it,still has the same crap quality interior. Amazing.

Yeah, all 08 models now are getting TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring system)

Gee...that's great news...with run-flats for that overall performance enhancement???

I got rid of my 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring because of TPMS....I think that's a great way for the Si to loose some performance...did I mention I hate TPMS and runflats..

TPMS does not automagically mean run-flats. You usually have TPMS when you have run-flats so that you can easily tell when the tire pressure is low. Run-flats don't sag like a normal tire.

I've been at the dealership a lot lately, so I've been checking with my favorite saleslady about the 2008 coupes. If I remember correctly, they had a few coupes in, but none with leather or navigation. I could be wrong and mistaking them for sedans, however. I do know that they have had several sedans in, from LX all the way up to EX-L.

I got to sit in an EX-L sedan, and let me tell you, I am contemplating putting in an order for a Rallye Red 2008 Civic EX-L coupe w/ 5MT and navi. The leather feels a lot more supple than most compact car entries do, and its heated.

SHe told me that the coupes are only a 10% kind of thing, so it'll be middle of next month before they get any in.

yea I went into a honda dealership this afternoon as well to inquire on the 2008 coupes, but they said they dont know when they are expecting any in yet. But I did see this red "F1" civic coupe they had on display with leather seats (black/red) with the si spoiler, rims and it came with a carbon fiber hood.

For the Toronto guys on this board it was at Sisley Honda.

There also getting heated side view mirrors (U.S. didn't have that prior), and btw all new cars sold in the U.S for the 08 model year are required to have a Tire pressure monitor system.

I have a 08 FPB coupe ordered. It's being made between the 26th and 30th, and my salesman told me it takes about 2 days to deliver it from OH to AZ. I paid 21,195 for it.

I could have gotten a 07 NBP or a RR for around 20,300 but my heart was set on a FBP. There were none in the Phoenix Metro area so I had to wait for the 08's.

I'm just wondering how much of a headache the TPMS will give owners with aftermarket wheels. Anyone with prior experience care to chime in?

918Civic: your car isn't coming from Ohio, all FG coupes are made in Alliston Ontario, Canada.

As far as aftermarket wheels, you'll need to have the TPMS sensors that are in the stock wheels put into your aftermarket wheels, assuming they fit properly. I'm not sure about Civic but in my experience with a Ridgeline if you run without the sensors you will not be able to turn off VSA with the switch.

918civic · 09-23-2007, 11:32 AM

Oh ok, thanks for the info Solo. Hopefully the guys at discount tire can help me (even if I don't buy a set there)

e60.deluxe · 09-23-2007, 12:34 PM

all FG2's are made in Alliston Ontario. FG1's can be made in either.

Solo2EG · 09-23-2007, 09:57 PM

Nope, Alliston is the only plant in the world that makes the 2 door coupe...

The leather is heated. It is a switch near the coin holder.
