We now have our first look at a production-spec prototype for the 2016 Honda Civic Coupe, caught during some early shakedown tests in the Mojave desert.
Honda's surprise unveiling of the Honda Civic Coupe concept car at the recent New York Auto Show made it one of the stars of the New York Auto Show. While the concept gave us a great look at the direction for the next Civic coupe--the details were turned up to 11 for maximum showbiz appeal.
These real-world prototypes caught testing give us our first, uncovered look at the Civic coupe that is destined for showrooms. The wing mirrors are much larger than the concept's, and the front- and rear-fascias have been toned down a bit. Our shots also give us a better sense of the shape without the concept's large rear wing.
The headlights on the prototype have simpler internal elements than the concepts', for more cost-effective production, but the overall shape and the main LED accents remain in place
The angular tail-lights and the chiseled rear-quarters can be seen on the prototype, and one of our shots also shows that the tail-lights will, indeed, wrap across the rear deck lid, just as it does on Honda's screaming green concept car!!!
