When we got our first look at the next generation of the Honda Civic at the 2011 Detroit auto show, we were generally underwhelmed. The Civic Concept resembled the outgoing Civic so closely that it was easily overshadowed by more visually interesting reveals, such as the Hyundai Veloster. Today, with the unveiling of the production versions of what will be the 2012 Civic coupe and sedan, we're unsurprised to find that Honda's bread-and-butter model is just as visually underwhelming as when we last saw it. However, digging into the specs, we find that there are a few revisions for the 2012 model year worth getting excited about.For starters, the 2012 Civic Hybrid gets upgraded with a new lithium ion battery pack and a larger 1.5-liter gasoline engine that work in concert to the tune of 45 mpg (combined). Aerodynamic tweaks and a new Eco Assist technology suite help the hybrid to achieve this number.
