Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd has put up a teaser site for the new Honda Civic FB, and it features a count-down that’s currently about 10 days and 14 hours right now. That would be next next Thursday.
The Honda Civic FB teaser site mentions a web movie, so I’m not sure if it’s the launch of the web movie or the car itself, but it’s probably both. We expect both the 1.8 and 2.0 litre models to be offered – for our first impressions of the car read our story: DRIVEN: 2012 Honda Civic FB (9th Gen) previewed in Thailand.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
After 10 days,another ugly car from Honda will be in Malaysian market.
Yeah. Same with kia cars. Japan and Korean cars cannot compete with German cars.
can compete, please downsize the engine first with more power in hp and torque. make it turbocharged, ok?
and the gear please least 6. no artifact level 4 or 5 gears ok? or else just put the car in museum.
others , they should know what to improve already
Last time I checked, the VWs offered here aren’t exactly beauties.
Can’t compete? All VW cars are ugly, particularly Polo Sedan.The only better looking VW is Scirocco.
Germans are nothing to shout about as well these days. Only brand conscious wannabes adore them without knowing the real value and quality of them all. Namaste….
Another 10 days before this super selling hot cake will give a slap on the face on those korean fan dog.
This would be another super selling hot cake & give a slap on the face on those korean sales/fan dog, Honda already make a remarkable return after Thailand Flood.
We though the flood drowned you too. Unfortunately it didn’t.
the C segment is getting fun this year!
the malaysian public awaits your pricing honda, be wise….
12th july. thats the one.
i am excited. it just please HM be nice on the price tag.
exceeding 120k for both variants is suicidal.
u got to listen to me. i am a confirmed buyer.
of course la exceed 120k if you want top range
less than 120k only the entry level
OMG…Although ugly, dont expect cheaper price for this car.
mix emotion for me…
elantra is a rival this time. watch out.
Yawn. Just another junk from honda to rip us out.
Lets see what is the spec offered. High price no spec will lead to doom.
Next ugly car from Honda will be in Malaysia….:(
Paul …
What does “FB” mean ?? KEEP Seeing it!
Pls enlighten us!
Thanks!
its like a code they use for the model. Like this is the FB Civic. the old one is FD i think. Camry(new-XV50, old-XV40), Sonata (old-NF, new-YF) thats how they differentiate the designs.
Just like bmw has its own f10 for 5 series & f30 for 3 series, honda civic’s FB is the 9th gen civic chassis/model code, the 8th gen was FD (for our region).
Exactly! Even Malaysian cars have it too. Like Myvi was D54T and Preve was the P3-21A. It is the only way we will not confuse the names!
FB = facebook . lol
WELL EXTERIOR OF THE CAR LOOKS LIKE HONDA’S DSIGNER ARE OUT OF IDEA??? MAYBE….
INTERIOR ..HURM.. I KINDA LIKE THE METER CONSOLE..ITS LOOK FUTURISTIC!!! BUT THE DASH LAYOUT TOTALLY HORRIBLE…I SEEMS LIKE THE HONDA ENGINEERS DRINK 5 TOWER OF CARLSBERG THEN THEY DESIGN THE DASH….
SEE YAA…
Please don’t drink and post. Nobody can read your drunk all caps post.
The drivetrain and handling of this all new 2012 Honda Civic FB has certainly improved much from the FD, combining even better FC and driveability. Sadly the ‘not so’ pleasing exterior design of this FB Civic will be the major letdown for many prospective buyers. Pricing has to be right, if not hard to see the same level of success as the FD achieved. :(
Honda: “So what if it’s ugly and a few thousands ringgit more, msian will still buy it! Let’s have more Sake.”
FB refers to the 9th Generation.
Something like EG, EK etc
Even the model name has been degenerated. Shouldn’t FD comes AFTER FB? ;) Just like the old EK came after the old EG series.
Facebook kot hehehe…….
We have seen the photos…too much of it….no need to tease us…unless u are expected to first launch in the world market eg at Geneva auto show..
After gone through the DRIVEN review, feel disappointed with the specs tht Honda offer in 1.8L!!! Price at around 100k don’t hv cruis control are not acceptable & if really happens sale will lose to Korean Cars!!!
To bros who have collected their new Elantras, do piss off the Honda sales reps by driving your superb Elantras to the official press release event in 10 days time.. LOL :D
Gotta see the expressions on the Honda top managament kekeke… :D
What a childish act…
The qns is my fren, do you dare to do it? :)
This is what we call a Korean car flash mob :D
I afraid they will shuu you away for bringing korean kimchi stench to their showroom.
Too many car racists these days.
Guys, here’s the SG spec FB Civic brochure.
http://honda.com.sg/cars/PDF/civic_catalogue.pdf
Once again, things such as 6 airbags are completely alien to Japs cars of this class in this part of the world. :( You have to get the 2L model to enjoy 6 airbags.
Evidently Honda belives life is cheap for buyers of lesser trim levels.
Other than the introduction of auto headlamps and wipers, the FB offers NOTHING over our beloved FDs in terms of equipment count.
FYI, our FDs already have auto headlamps option in Austalia market.
Hopefully the Malaysian ones have VSA. If not please don’t buy this junk.
so what…
you pay less profit for them… they give less safety for you…
How is Honda going to reduce pricing, a dent on their cars secondhand value is not going to please anyone. Especially their loyal diehard supporters. Higher specification list would be win-win decision.
Or they can continue selling uninspiring commute.
Most likely, they will do like what Toyota have done. Higher price lesser features so that the second hand value of older models remain even higher. The FB already loss to the FD with the engine downgrade.
design wise, ugly. price wise, sure mahal.. better get proton inspira.
Better get Pervy. Inspira got lesser safety features and no turbo.
This civic will wipe elantra out! Lol
Say goodbye to hyundai, stupid lousy car manufacturer
Not only that, this car will wipe out VW also. Say goodbye to overpriced German cars. *wink*wink* Right?
Maserati ur Toyota cars not selling well anymore until u need to come here support another Japanese brand? LoL!
Imagine Camry price + rm10k and yet they took away VSC. My neighbour driving camry say he won’t let go of his old model now bcoz of this new failure model…
haha bro, that’s some good sarcasm there. Everything also wipeout, that’s the motto of blind brand fanboys these days.
Anyways, back to the FB Civic, to give credit to Honda, at least they stuff more goodies, unlike Toyota with their insanely ‘air kosong’ spec cars.
From the thumbs down, looks like some Malaysians have no clue what is sarcasm.
new civic will look like city (as in current latest model where front is the same and just the back is diff.) ..:P
Good la, then can share parts with the Civic.
Sure ah bengs happy one. They can upgrade to Civic but transfer their mods from City.
Too bad, the same can’t be applied to the upcoming Accord, else the Civic ah bengs can also upgrade to Accord and transfer mods.
Fully agree. They tarted giving 5 yrs warranty and stability control on new city. Tat I salute them. Feeling the pressure for Koreans now. Unlike Toyota happily coming out with ‘enhancement’ version and keep sucking $$.
New civic is too ugly than current one Honda is getting worst.
How on earth our authorities allow these car manufacturers to call their model ” all new” when the engine, gearbox, and platform are “carry over”??
So the authority can have this compared to Preve/Inspira
o well.. at least they they making effort by doing this aggressive advertisement
*drive away with my forever-awesome civic 8th gen
Doraemon fan boyz..Don’t buy this car now..coz those who buy it now wil be disappointed wen an ‘enhanced’ facelift model comes out d next year..
Sadly the ‘not so’ pleasing exterior design of this FB Civic will be the major letdown for many prospective buyers.
Whatever design will Honda come up..those japanese fan dog will always ‘Honda Honda Honda da bestttt!!’…erk?no brain to evaluate already..
I think Honda have failed to impress people with their new models like city facelifted and new civic. Whether you like it or not, still have people will buy for it with some reason and liking it. You don’t need to quote people who likes Japs car as “japanese fan dog”. If you really think so, then are you admitting that you are a dog for the one you like even others people think he or she is ugly??
No need to argue which is ugly and which isnt , as an owner of a German car and two Japanese cars , I can tell you one thing :- I actually like German cars but after many years of driving it the maintenance will go up and durability will fall way below ,and i mean way below a Jap .So you decide what you want in your life . As for the new civic , 1st impressions doesnt impress me ,i guess its hard to evolve a good product .
would there be any Type-R version for this Civic FB?
