we can easily spot on the ff.
* new foglamp shape (same as 2001 Civic's elliptical form).
* new grille
* new rims.

and dont like them any better than the current one. then no need to wait, buy now. as i'm sure u will get more discount with the 2007/2008 model.

but for me i'd only be ever interested again in a Civic is , then Honda starts to get serious and eliminate the roadnoise problem fm. entering the cabin.

Is that an NVH design issue? Or its just a low noise canceling ratio tires?

At a glance, it was almost a Gen8 look - since I was looking at the headlights

- Generally, this one,

maganda yung aesthetics nya.

What about kaya sa tail lights sir ?? Are there any pics available?

Di ko na maantay ito , just got my FD 1.8S NHB 6 days ago hehehe -

yah..sabi ng honda..e bro alam mo naman ang sistema..mayo daw but ika nga dont bet your house on it!...i'd say late 09 release yan or early 2010..baka pa nga just before or sabay ng mazda 3 release for honda to really test the waters and see how it can compete with the 'new' Mazda rival in the small car market

That would be a very long wait to those who are looking into the facelifted version...

that would be a long wait indeed. looks like im forced to buy the current model or look for a different car like maybe an impreza haha

Our friends from Honda Cars Global City say that the facelifted Civic FD may come out middle of 2009 at the earliest. I suggest you get the current model while HCPI may include a lot of good features, deals and freebies with it.

Our forum poster from the Middle East already bought a facelifted FD. He says it rides practically the same as the existing FD. Mostly aesthetic upgrades only. HTH

purely cosmetics lang ba talaga ang nabago sa 09 civic?
we were considering the 1.8V but don't really want to get it if there will be major changes as early as mid 09. since the 1.8V doesn't have fog lamps, grille and tail lamps lang mababago?
