Timezone is an incredibly complex notion. Let's take the 2012 Civic for example: the car has already arrived in America, but Europeans still have to wait for the Frankfurt Auto Show to open its doors in a couple of hours in order to receive it.
And it's not even the same car. While nobody seemed to excited by the looks of the 2012 US Civic, it's euro sister is much more of a piece of eye candy.

If you ask Honda, the design is the translation of an airplane on the road. What do we think? Well, somehow the car manages to be both an evolution and a revolution when compared to the brilliant one it replaces.
We like the aggressive lines, but we're not really sure about that aerodynamic (and we mean Prius-aerodynamic) rear end here.

As for the tech side of the car, Honda has decided to still keep the info for itself, maybe in order to make sure that we have some time to go over the exterior, as well as the interior details of the compact.

We're still looking forward to meeting the car's racing evil twin...
