2008 Civic on Honda.com

jet1000 · 08-30-2007, 11:02 PM

It looks like they put the 2008 Civic Coupe on Honda's site:

http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-coupe/

I was looking at the Audio chart and it says the EX-L (non nav) will get a digital card reader.

Someone else pointed out the EX trim (non nav) no longer has XM-Ready on the coupe chart whereas it still does on the 2008 sedan chart. I wonder if that's correct or if someone didn't proofread the chart before they posted.

And as for leather (unlike the sedan ) black leather will be available in the coupe. Couldn't find any pictures yet.

Wow, no bluetooth huh? Thought since it was on the new accord, we would see it on the civic too. I am sure they will add it in 2009 then.

I am going to have to look at that gray leather in person...bummer they don't offer the black leather on the blue color cars.

But the BIG news is we can probably get the leather steering wheels and place them in our 2007 cars for that factory wheel feel!!! Woot!

I keep watching for them to post the '08 Si!!

two shades of blues (atomic blue, and Royal blue pearl) for choices this year...

Thoughts:

1.) Not nearly enough interior color combinations. I love Atomic Blue, but hate gray interiors. Leather looks nice though.

2.) Are the door armrests and inserts leather covered to? I assume they would be, but it would look super crappy if they weren't.

3.) 2008 Fuel Economy is really disappointing: I get better gas mileage in my Si on all counts :/

4.) All in all, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considering trading in my 2006 Si for a 2008 Civic EX-L w/ navigation and a 5MT. For that price, it's too good to pass up. Leather > wear-prone cloth seats.

I know, and I know its for the best, it's just hard seeing 30/40 drop to 26/36 or similar. 30/40 just seems like so much more.

But I have to be honest, I've had as much as 37 miles a gallon on my Si. Granted I was light on the acceleration and RPMs, but still.

The EX-L gets a digital audio card reader.

poppageorgio · 08-31-2007, 02:35 PM

Tire Pressure Monitoring is now on the cars, I noticed.

***BLouIsGod*** · 08-31-2007, 02:58 PM

Im really surprised blue tooth isnt offered

Trendari · 08-31-2007, 05:27 PM

Ya I am too cause it's on the accord.
As for mileage...remember that all cars went under the new government guidelines this year...you will notice they ALL went down. On the new test, they have to use more real life measures like with ac on and stuff. I have been averaging those quoted numbers for 2008 this whole time in my 2007 ex coupe auto. Nice to see real life numbers on those charts now...should really help people out when deciding on cars for gas mileage.

Honda acts as though this is a luxury they decided to offer. Isn't it required for all vehicles starting in 2008 or something?

Oh well, nice addition nonetheless.

Information for 2008 Civic coupes and sedans (non-Si) is now available on Honda.com. For those who have been waiting, here is a picture of the newly offered leather interior:

Civic coupe with leather-trimmed seats, center armrest and leather-wrapped steering wheel.

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 08-31-2007, 07:04 PM

But where is the drivers side body????? Why would they just leave it open like that???

Oh I get it...... It just has a REEEEEEALY big door.
