The Honda Civic has been part of the American motoring scene since the early 1970s. The Civic received its last complete redesign in 2006, when it adapted a smooth, aerodynamic shape with a futuristic (and roomy) interior. Today's Civic comes in 4-door sedan and 2-door coupe body styles and offers several distinct powertrain combinations, including gasoline, gasoline-electric hybrid, and natural gas-powered versions. For 2008, Honda has furthered the appeal by introducing a new top-of-the-line model with a leather-trimmed interior and a limited-run "tuner" version.
