The all-new 2013 Honda Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe have become the first small cars to achieve Top Safety Pick+ ratings in the U.S IIHS (Institute for Highway Safety) safety testing. This makes the Civic Sedan and Coupe the first and only IIHS Top Safety Picks in the small car segment.  In addition, for the 2013 model year, all Honda models tested by the IIHS have received a top safety pick+ or top safety pick rating.

“If you are looking for a compact car with a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, the 2013 Honda Civic is the

only choice,” said Dave Jamieson, assistant vice president of sales and marketing at Honda Canada Inc. “We believe this is a distinct competitive advantage, especially as more and more consumers place a premium on crash rating performance.”

The 2013 Civic sedan comes equipped with the Honda Advanced Compatibility body structure (ACE II). It is not only the first small car to earn top safety pick+ in the industry, but the first and only to earn the highest possible rating of GOOD on the IIHS small overlap frontal crash test. The test is designed to simulate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object at high speed. 2013 Honda Civic

Honda is now the leader in the industry with four Top Safety Pick rated vehicles – the Civic sedan and coupe and the Accord sedan and coupe.

Earlier this morning at the opening of the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, the winner of the Canadian Car of the Year was awarded by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). The top honour went to none other than the 2013 Honda Accord sedan, and deservedly so. The Honda Accord beat out the 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT and the 2013 Porsche Boxster.7964949

AJAC’s annual test in October had about 80 leading auto journalists from across Canada gathered to test drive and evaluate over one hundred 2013 vehicles.

“We are extremely proud to see the Accord recognized by so many of Canada’s top journalists as Canadian Car of the Year and we thank AJAC for this great honour,” said Takashi Sekiguchi, President and CEO, Honda Canada who was there to accept the award. “The Accord is one of our most important vehicles, so we’re thrilled to receive the great feedback that we’re continuing to raise the bar in the family car category.”image

Yesterday, Honda Canada revealed the first look at the 2013 Honda Civic Sedan.  Not expected to make its debut until the 29th of November at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2013 Civic has a much more sculpted front end, with an open mouthed lower bumper and honeycomb mesh grille.  The new styling also presents a new rear bumper design and new rear trunk lid, which is capped with a chrome trim piece.

Dave Jamieson, assistant vice president for Honda Canada Inc. was quoted as saying “We believe that combining a host of exterior refinements with additional feature content and infusing the 2013 Honda Civic with a more youthful and premium style, we have made the best-selling passenger vehicle in Canada that much better.”

The full features of the 2013 Honda Civic won’t be revealed until November 29th at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but from what we can see, with its new styling and content additions, the 2013 Civic is both youthful and fun to drive!

If you are interested in purchasing the 2013 Honda Civic, it will be going on sale, mid-December at Image Honda.  Please feel free to visit us at www.imagehonda.com or call us at 1-888-375-5914.
