Honda always gives the Civic a facelift in the 3rd year of the model cycle (the all-new shape was globally launched in '06).
As you can see, the front end styling has become quite sporty, the new front bumper reminds me of the current Civic Type-R. I like the sporty black mesh inserts in the front grille. Smoked out headlamps are another sporty touch. The new oval driving lamps are smaller and look more attractive surrounded by the sporty black mesh. Overall the front end gets some much needed length that was lacking before. The rear end gets new LED lamps and a trunk-lid spoiler. Some new wheel styles are offered too. Interior seems to be pretty much unchanged.
We should expect Honda Atlas to release it in Pakistan by January '09, alongside the all-new '09 Honda City. This facelift also proves that there will be an all-new Honda Civic in 2011.
