Honda is now putting the finishing touches on the 2012 Civic Hybrid. The Japanese automaker is remaking its entire Civic lineup, but prioritizing the hybrid model. They are betting so much on the hybrid, that it looks to be going on sale in late 2011, even before the standard version is released.

Honda's next Civic will be restyled and based on the current model, with a rounder overall profile. Sources say no huge changes will affect the design, size or market positioning. For US audiences there will be a sedan and Si coupe body.
