Honda Motor Co. will begin selling a revamped lineup of Civic cars this week, the ninth generation of the compacts since 1973, to beat back competition from Hyundai Motor Co.
The 2012 lineup, including new versions of the sedan and coupe, sport-oriented SI models and hybrid and natural-gas vehicles, was shown today at the New York International Auto Show and is priced from $15,805 for a manual-transmission Civic DX to $26,750 for a Civic Hybrid with leather seats, navigation system and satellite radio, Honda said. The range is the broadest in the compact segment, the Tokyo-based carmaker said.
