Honda stole the show at the 2015 New York International Auto Show. This concept car for the 2016 Honda Coupe was not what the reporters were expecting at all.
Green Car Reports explained, "Major auto shows are where carmakers traditionally unveil new models, but these days, they're rarely a surprise. Thanks to the Internet, both leaks and car companies' desire for extra publicity from early teaser photos tend to spoil the surprise.
Then there is advance information sent under embargo to selected media sites, so they can prepare their stories ahead of time and launch them at the designated minute.
"None of that applied at the 2015 New York Auto Show yesterday, when a Honda Civic concept that previews the 10th generation of the compact car was a total surprise to assembled reporters."
Remembering how hard Honda works at keeping its design a secret, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised.
USA Today loved the new design. They wrote, "The 10th-generation appearance abandons the cab-forward design that the Civic has had for years to give it a long hood and sense of more power. The new one is a little longer and wider. In front there are new LED running lights and in back, a new wrap-around taillight design. Yet even with the changes, the car still has the unmistakable look of a Civic."

USA today went on, "The goal was to create 'the most charismatic, most ambitious and most fun-to-drive and sportiest Civic we've ever made,' says Guy Melville-Brown, who led the U.S. design team in the creation of the car expected to sell around the world."
So what do you think? They're expected to be in dealerships this fall. We will absolutely let you know when we have them in at Ken Garff Honda of Orem!
