Honda Civic

The Honda Civic is a line of subcompact and subsequently 
compact cars made and manufactured by Honda. 
In North America, the Civic is the second-longest 
continuously-running nameplate from a Japanese 
manufacturer; only the Toyota Corolla, introduced 
in 1968, has been in production longer. The Civic, 
along with the Accord and Prelude, comprised Honda's 
vehicles sold in North America until the 1990s, when 
the model lineup was expanded. Having gone through 
several generational changes, the Civic has become 
larger and more upmarket, and it currently slots between 
the Fit and Accord.

As of 2008, the Civic has been the top-selling car in 
Canada for eleven straight years. With high gas prices 
and a weak economy in June 2008, the Civic supplanted 
the Ford F-Series to become the top-selling vehicle in 
the United States for that month.

Civic sales in Japan are ending with the gas version 
ended in August 2010 and hybrid in December. International 
versions and hybrids will continue to be manufactured for 
sales outside of Japan.
