Displaying Items By Tag: Confirm

We've had surprisingly good looks at the 2022 Honda Civic sedan and hatchback so far, mainly thanks to patent drawings that surfaced on the internet. But we haven't seen it very clearly in the sheetmetal, or at least we hadn't until one of our spy photographers sent us the above photos. They show a prototype sedan out driving with what seems like production bodywork and minimal camouflage.

Looking at this prototype, it seems to match up well with the patent renderings. It has a longer, flatter nose with wide headlights. The trunk lid is more defined from the rear pillar. The taillights are also wide and thin compared with the funky boomerang lights of the current model. And in general, the Civic is looking more like a mini Accord. The proportions look better in real life than in the drawings, with the overhangs not looking quite so extreme.

Tokyo Governor Koike Yuriko says the Japanese capital is expected to confirm more than 280 new cases of the coronavirus on Thursday.

Speaking to reporters at the metropolitan government building, Koike said officials have told her that the figure is likely to top 280, although the final tally is still uncertain.
