Friday afternoon found Armen Hareyan executive publisher of TorqueNews.Com receiving a viable tip from our friends at “10thCivicforum.Com.” Thanks to Michael, as passed onto the site by forum member “HondaGeek” East Coast Honda fans now have a realistic time of arrival, colors and trim variants destined for New Jersey.
According to our sources at American Honda Motors, and as reported earlier by Torque News
The initial 2016 Honda Civic production rollout will be limited to the 1.5 liter turbocharged CVT sedan and the base model 2.0 liter normally aspirated 4 cylinder 6 speed manual transmission. You may catch our latest 2016 Civic article here.

As experienced with the introduction of the 2015 Honda Fit and the 2016 HR-V, initial production will be limited. We predict that most dealerships in North America will receive no more than 2 examples of the EX and LX trim variant on the initial production run.
According to A.H.M, (American Honda Motors) a coupe and hopefully Si variant will come on line before the end of 2015, with the Civic 5 door hatchback and the English built 2017 Type-R following in mid to late 2016.
