Honda's ninth-generation Civic is making its debut at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. American Honda Motor Company Inc. will unveil the newest evolution of its popular sedan at the world-renowned North American International Auto Show.
The Civic is manufactured in two places - at plants in Greensburg, Ind., and Alliston, Ontario. The vehicle was constructed at the East Liberty Auto Plant until 2008 when production shifted to the automaker's newest plant in Greensburg. Ohio plants will make engines and transmissions for the Indiana facility.
Sales of the Civic, last was redesigned in 2005, were up less than 1 percent in 2010 to 260,218 vehicles, versus 259,722 in 2009. The company, whose manufacturing operations are headquartered in Marysville, reported a 7 percent overall sales increase for last year, according to Biz Journals.
Spokesman Ron Lietzke said the car being shown in Detroit is not the final production version of the Civic. It could still change, though any changes will likely would be small. The Honda Civic is expected to go on sale in the spring of 2012.
