  If the 2011 model is a new design, I expect they'll have standard ESC. If it's a holdover, then I think Honda will wait for 2012.

• Will 2011 Civics (all trims) include ESC?

  Is it time for Honda to add ESC to all of the Civic models? Do you think it may happen with the 2011 models or do you think they will wait until 2012 when it becomes mandatory?

  While at the Honda dealer last week, went over to the Kia store but they had no Forte's in stock. The SX model is what I'd be interested in eventually so was disappointed there were none to sit in and get the feel of it. Now I hear that the new Civic will be a 2012 model instead of a 2011 one. But that works for me as I'd be looking ... Read More

"Civic As the current body style debuted in the 2006 model year, the Civic received its MMC last year. In other words, minimal changes are expected for 2010. For those who are counting on the Civic getting an FMC next year, think again. The Civic has generally been on a 5-year model cycle, which means the FMC (full model change) would normally ...

  dtolman: I believe 16480 OTD is a decent deal. Not sure what the tax rate is in IL. I agree that stability control should be at least an option on all models. I believe they have started to include it with Toyota Corollas. I honestly had not noticed it was not standard on LX up. That may seriously affect my buying decision. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mandates that all ... Read More

  First 6% is a very big price increase for one year. I am doubtful the price increase on the 2009 Civic will actually be that much, because if so it is getting very close to the Accord in pricing. You heard that from a sales rep, right? By the end of the year, supply of the 2009s will be good and there will be competition for the Civic from Honda's own ... Read More

  Since the 2009s will be arriving in the not too distant future, I thought maybe someone (like one of our resident Honda salespeople) had heard some details about which Civics get VSA for 2009 and which don't. It appears not. I need to buy a car (actually at least 2) before 2012.

  Uh... yeah, I assumed Honda would keep VSA on the Si. I had read that VSA would be added to other Civic trims for 2009. I think it's going to be pure speculation as to what models will and will not have it. For certain all cars in the US will have stability control in 2012 as it will be mandatory.
