Honda arguably stole the spotlight at 2015 New York Auto Show.
Aside from confirming that a Civic Type R will ultimately make it to North America, the Japanese automaker debuted the 2016 Honda Civic concept, sporting a stylish lime-green finish with an aggressive design. Best of all, Honda has confirmed that the next-generation Civic will come in several variants including a five-door hatchback. Okay, maybe that wasn’t the best news: the new Civic will be powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC engine, words that every Honda enthusiast has been waiting a decade to hear.
