U.S. American Honda is introducing a revamped face of its Civic model 2013. Without being precisely its cycle of change, the compact-one of the most in demand in the neighboring country, has a new rear fascia and taillights modifications.

It is known that the change cycle for brand car is five years. Given the great review that was launched in the U.S. against the quality of the interior, especially the plastic front and side panels, Honda engineers took note of the issue and have made an improvement in this regard. It is checked until the American press can know the vehicle in the event cited.
Honda President, Takanobu Ito, ordered a crash test of the car and the subsequent improvement of the points that analysts had criticized.

This could be happening between January and March 2013, according to estimates by Al Volante.

The companies that bring new projects and investments are rushing given the crisis in Japan and other European nations such as Germany (cases of Mazda, Audi and Honda).
