Click above for two sets of ‘09 Civic Sedan brochure scans
Honda hasn’t released official shots of the mildly facelifted 2009 Civic sedan yet, but it has started sending brochures to dealers. You know how this works: brochure > scanner > web > you, so here it is. Up front, the grille is reshaped to align Civic with its Honda brethren and the lower fascia gets a more aggressive three-opening treatment that lets the foglamps be pushed farther outboard. In back, the taillamps retain their shape, but the reverse light detailing is updated. Some models (from what we can see) now also get a trunklid chrome strip. Look for some new wheel designs sprinkled throughout, as well as two new trim levels — the DX-VP (Value Package) and LX-S (Sport appearance package). Given that people are flocking to more economical cars, those additional offerings in the lineup certainly shouldn’t hurt. We expect to see 4-door’s front-end changes ma...

The Assurance ComforTred uses a special cushion layer to smooth out road imperfections, the last thing anyone wants with a Flex loaded for bear with the kids, the dog, and a fully stocked refrigerator. The Flex is obviously designed to...

more Embattled Oshawa plant to get GM hybrid truck production, will still close in 2009From: feeds.feedburner.com

GM’s Oshawa Truck plant has been slated for closure in 2009, but GM has announced that the embattled plant will still build the Silverado Two-Mode hybrid beginning later this year. The move was well received by the CAW, which hasn’t exactly been playing nice with the General since it got word of the plant’s closure. The CAW threw up a blockade of GM’s Canadian headquarters from June 4-15 in response to the General’s announcement that it would close the facility. Th...
