2012 Honda Civic Hybrid
2012 Honda Civic Hybrid with Leather and Navi - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
The only people who will notice that the Honda Civic has been redesigned are current Honda Civic owners. And that may be the point.

I spent quite a lot of time behind the wheel of a regular Honda Civic sedan during our Small Car 6-pack story and wasn't very impressed with Honda's update to the car for 2012. Yes, the Honda Civic is still a very strong choice in the suddenly highly competitive field of small cars. It may be good at everything, but there's no one area where the Honda Civic really stands above the crowd. Everything from the design to the driving dynamics to the interior is well done but unexceptional.
