2009/2010 Model Changes

Acura 2009/2010

2009/2010 Canadian-only CSX: See 2009/2010 Civic

2009/2010 RSX/Integra: Rumored JDM resurrection with SH-AWD, 260+hp

2009 TL: Full Model Change, expected in Fall 2008 with SH-AWD and 310+hp.
2010 TL: Nothing significant, after hot on the heels of the 2009 TL.

2009 TSX: Nothing after the Full Model Change for 2008.
2010 TSX: Nothing but expect usual colour changes.

2009/2010 RL: Very skeptical about future years of the RL; Acura may have a Mid-Model Change for 2009 but is too late but may speed up the Full Model Change expected in 2010. Expect SH-AWD and a possibility of a V8 engine.

2009 MDX: Nothing but expect usual colour changes and a diesel variant.
2010 MDX: Expect a Mid-Model Change with new front and rear ends with a slightly modified interior, expect shuffling of the trim levels and colours and expect a possible V8 engine from the 2010 RL if produced.

2009 RDX: Nothing but expect usual colour changes.
2010 RDX: Expect a Mid-Model Change with new front and rear ends with a slightly modified interior, expect shuffling of the trim levels and colours. Rumours suggest a possible Type-S version?

2010 NSX: Rumoured 4.5L, V10, 550 hp front wheel drive engine with SH-AWD, however may have a delayed introduction.

NEW FOR 2009 will be a supposedly planned sub-NSX sports car.

Honda 2009/2010

2009 Accord: Nothing except for usual colour changes and a diesel variant.
2010 Accord: Nothing significant except for possible shifting of trim levels and possibility of added features and colour changes.

2009 Civic: Due for a Mid-Model Change, expect a new front and rear ends and a slight interior change, possible feature/trim level/colour changes.
2010 Civic: Nothing except for usual colour changes.

2009 CR-V: 2.2 Diesel variant, possible shuffling of trim levels and colour changes.
2010 CR-V: Due for a Mid-Model Change, expect a new front and rear ends and a slight interior change, possible feature/trim level/colour changes.

2009/2010 Element: As this time, it is unknown whether or not Honda will continue producing the Element as the Full Model Change was expect for 2008 and that Honda did not give out any future Element information. Either expect a redesign, expect a new model different from the Element or expect a complete drop of the Element.

2009 Fit: Possible Full Model Change could be carried out in 2008 or 2009 but due to the time variety in parts of the world, the timing of the FMC is unsure.
2010 Fit: Honda could delay the FMC until 2010 for North America only or else if Honda carried out a FMC in 2008 or 2009 expect 2010 to be just a unchanged year except for usual colour changes.

2009 Odyssey: Nothing as a Mid-Model Change was carried out in 2008, possibility of a diesel version and some usual colour changes.
2010 Odyssey: Full Model Change; redesign.

2009 Pilot: Nothing as a Full Model Change was carried out in 2008, expect some usual colour changes.
2010 Pilot: A diesel variant and expect some shuffling of feature availability/trim levels and colour changes.

2009 Ridgeline: A Mid-Model Change is expected along with a diesel variant.
2010 Ridgeline: Nothing as a Mid-Model Change will be carried out in 2009. Expect usual colour changes.

2009/2010 S2000: Possible Full Model Change in 2009 or else expect a new coupe/convertible variant that will both resuscitate the S2000 and the Prelude.

NEW FOR 2009 will be the planned small hybrid family car smaller than the Civic but different design than the Fit.

RUMOURS: There are existing rumours that Honda will introduce the FR-V/Edix model to North America. That has not been confirmed and it seems unlikely. Also there are existing rumours that Honda will introduce the Stream model to North America as the Latitude. That rumour has existed for years and has not been confirmed yet.
