Motortrend has photos of the 2013 Civic with "Accord-like" styling.

http://wot.motortrend.com/spied-2013...ng-285789.html

It looks like a 2012 with some tweaked plastic and sheet metal ... just like most peeps expected. The photos of the rear show tape on the lower bumper. I think that means Honda is adding those goofy-looking rear bumper reflectors. Ugh.

The top photo is the 2013, and the bottom is the 2012 model.

Getting rid of the chrome bar in the grill makes it look a LITTLE less like an 8th gen. More coupe parts on the sedan.

Thanks for the pix !

Edit: Are those HIDs ??, looks like headlights are on and low beam.

Release date for the 2013 Civics will be November 29th 2012. The same day that the Star Trek: The Next generation Season 2 movie event is going on!

Hopefully the '13 Civics will have a revised drivetrain beside just upgraded interior, exterior and suspension tweaks. Earth Dreams engines

so basically the same car again with some cheap looking streak in the body panel lol. if you guys want projectors, get the oem jdm lights for 12 and older civic. they are on ebay for a good amount, but would make for an easy hid retrofit with usdm projectors. i believe they are stock halogen only.

Yes, it is still a 9th gen. Don't need hid, just wondering. More than happy with my bone stock quartz halogens. The biggest change the Civic ever had was the 7th to 8th gen change and they are likely going to be similar for a few more generations yet to come.

IT'S A CIVIC !

Today is the day we are supposed to have a fleet of 13s for sale, and I get to work this AM to find 3 brand spanking new 12s right off the truck.

Not a single 13 Civic in sight.

EDIT: Sales says ours should be here by the 4th? The dealer an hour away has their 13s today.

NO powertrain changes at all.
