MotorTrend: "In 2010, Honda sold 260,218 eighth-generation Civics, or more units than BMW sold, well, all told (220,113). In fact, Civic sales were nearly as much as that of the complete BMW group (266,069), which includes Mini and Rolls-Royce. Suffice it to say, many an automaker would love to enjoy entire portfolio sales comparable to that of Honda's Civic."
TheCarConnection: "By this point, the Honda Civic compact is an American institution."
LeftLaneNews: "Although it might look rather like last year’s model, the Civic is actually considered an all-new offering in Honda’s lineup. Its proportions outside are identical, although it has received a light nip and tuck at every corner. Sedans get a revised side profile that is less cab-forward-looking than before with new Honda Insight-gleaned details, while coupes channel their inner Accord Coupe for a more shapely style. Meanwhile, Si models gain the requisite spoilers and body kits one might expect."
