Honda has just released a teaser shot of the 2012 Civic Euro which will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. As you can see, the new Civic now has a combination light that also doubles duty as an aerodynamic spoiler. Honda claims this manages air flow over the top and sides of the car. The new Civic Euro will also be offering "stand-out looks" along with "class-leading" interior space coupled with Honda's peace of mind.

Whatever Honda is saying, this looks to be a homerun for Honda in Europe. More to come ...

You'd be forgiven if you thought that the TSX from Acura was slowly fading into oblivion. But Acura plans to inject some spice and character into the otherwise, casual and decent-looking sedan with a Special Edition trim level announced for 2012. Sadly, Acura has not included any powertrain enhancements, this trim model strictly focuses on visual and interior improvements. Acura says that the TSX SE is designed to "evoke the fun-to-drive 4-cylinder Acuras of the past." The 2012 TSX SE now has an aggressive front spoiler, a refreshed rear bumper fascia, unique side sills and an SE badge on the trunklid. The TSX SE will have a polished finish with a dark grey background unique to the trim model. Interior-wise, the SE will feature perforated black Lux Suede inserts with red backing on the seats, note that this is the same material they use in the UK Honda Accord Type-S. Unique red stitching will also be featured throughout the interior on the seats, steering wheel and shift knob. Combined with red lighting for the gauges, overhead lighting and footwell lighting, you'd be seeing a lot of red. Aluminum pedal covers are also standard equipment to spice up the otherwise dull driver compartment. Bright silver plating for the steering wheel paddle shifters help to add some color and the black headliner gives a sporty feel to the interior.

Once again, the TSX SE will available with the 4-cylinder engine with your choice of a 5-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission.

Honda will launch the new Civic at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Developed specifically for the European market, the Civic will be offered exclusively as a five-door hatchback and will compete in the C-segment. It will reach European showrooms in early 2012. In the build-up to the reveal of the new Civic, Honda is releasing a series of short form films detailing its development. The third of these films focuses on noise and refinement. One of the focuses of the development team for the new Civic was optimising the interior refinement. The engineers worked intensively to hone every detail of the design, build and aerodynamics. The results add to a car that is relaxing to drive on all roads and in all conditions. The engineers have spent a lot of time testing the car in Europe, tuning the new Civic to suit the distinctive road conditions. The team used Honda's anechoic chamber in its R&D Facility in Swindon, England, to fine-tune the cabin insulation. One of the results of this research was to modify the design and construction of the roof lining, and how it interacts with the bodywork. The new Civic's aerodynamic efficiency also plays a key role in maximising its refinement. Several members of the development team have Formula One experience, which they used to deliver a car that combines a low coefficient of drag with excellent high-speed stability. Hours of meticulous work in the Honda wind tunnel has improved performance, reduced fuel consumption and resulted in an exceptionally quiet interior. "We did not improve the noise and refinement of the new Civic through just one technique," says Kazuo Sunaoshi, Development Leader - Chassis. "It was the accumulation of lots of little details. My big challenge was to match the noise and vibration levels of our European competitors. I am proud to say that we have achieved our goals." Find out more by watching the new ‘noise and refinement' film release.
