I was just at the dealership last week looking at the 2007 Civic Hybrid. In passing, he mentioned that they did not have many on the lot because they are awaiting all of the new 2008 Hondas to arrive likely by the end of September. My question is this -- Does anyone know if there will be any significant changes with the 2008 Civic Hybrid??? I know the body style will be the same, but I didn't know if anything else would be different.

 

I think a tire pressure monitoring system will be standard on all 2008 cars.

 

Civics will have the EX-L model (leather and nav) but my dealer confirmed no such luck on the Hybrid. So probably just the TPMS and probably no change in colors either (you would think they could at least throw in a couple new paint options).

 

Even if you are not going to get a 2008, I would wait until they come out. The 07s will be significantly cheaper.

 

I was at the dealer this morning and a guy said they really dont know what the style will be until they are on the lot. I dunno how true that is.

Honda has announced its all-new next generation fuel cell vehicle for 2009 model year, arriving in 2008.

 

Civic sedan (excluding hybrid) prices have been announced, and are unchanged for the 2008 model year! The destination and handling went up $40, but other than that all prices remained the same. The leather will be a $1200 option...

 

Where did you see these prices?
