2 106

Exactly about two months ago Honda shock the automotive world with the release of their most awaited best-selling sedan, 10th Generation Honda Civic. Today, Honda introduced the two-door coupe version of the Civic model line-up at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The two-door version is offered in the United States only, and about 10% to 15% of Civic buyers opt for the coupe. Honda believes that the new design philosophy with hot sporty character will increase this percentage and will attract many new buyers.

Exterior wise the car looks same as sedan till A pillar but then a sloping roof with rear glass going toward trunk gives a car an athletic look. The rear LED tail lights look same as sedan version but its extended from end to end over trunk below deck spoiler. This is exactly same as what we saw as Concept Civic at NY Auto Show earlier this year. Honda fans loved this design as a concept but is lacking in the sedan version.

    “Exactly about two months ago”

    Either it is exactly two months ago.
    Or it is about two months ago.

    How can two contradictory words be used next to each other?
