线程： 洛杉矶车展: 2013年本田思域

2013 文娱接收大量的外部和内部设计样式的更改和改进的安全凭据。新，2013 年模型本田 Civic，今天，在 LA 车展所示大概为一体的汽车工业史上最快的主要 facelifts 计数。当时新 2012 Civic 仅仅持续了 12 个月前美国新闻批评启发本田重新设计发动机罩、 格栅、 保险杠、 后保险杠、 行李箱盖和后面的光集群。
Civic 里面还获取重新设计的仪表板，对那风格更接近用在欧洲公民，与升级塑料。本田还扔公民，包括前向碰撞检测、 触摸屏显示和后视摄像头的额外的设备。
奇怪的是， 2012 的 Civic 被认为是今年以来美国最畅销的紧凑型轿车，因此，洪达斯的巨大努力似乎比公众更令人高兴。 尽管该公司承认 2012 的模式是在金融危机期间策划的，其目标是价格敏感的市场。
本田还将 Civics 正面碰撞结构升级为 " ACE " ( Advanced Compatibility Engineering ) 。 此举旨在维持 Civics 的安全等级，以面对新的美国碰撞测试，在测试中使用的重叠面积较小。 现在的测试用的是汽车鼻子面积较小的鼻子，而不是一半的汽车鼻子，将撞击载荷集中到一个较小的区域。

2013 Civic receives substantial exterior and interior styling changes and improved safety credentials. The new, 2013 model Honda Civic, shown at the LA motor show today, probably counts as one of the quickest major facelifts in the history of the auto industry. The then-new 2012 Civic lasted just 12 months before US press criticism inspired Honda to redesign the bonnet, grille, bumper, rear bumper, boot lid and rear light clusters.
Inside the Civic also gets a re-designed dashboard, closer in style to that used in the European Civic, with upgraded plastics. Honda also threw extra equipment at the Civic, including forward collision detection, a touchscreen display and a rear-view camera.
Bizarrely, the 2012 Civic is said to be the best selling compact car in the US so far this year, so Hondas huge efforts seem to have been pleasing the press more than the public. Although the company admits that the rather spartan 2012 model was engineered during the financial crisis and aimed at what was expected to be a price sensitive market.
Honda has also upgraded the Civics frontal crash structure with the something called ACE (Advanced Compatibility Engineering). This move is intended to preserve the Civics safety ratings in the face of new US crash tests which use a smaller area of overlap in offset crash tests. Rather than half of the cars nose absorbing the impact, the test now uses a smaller area of the cars nose, concentrating the crash loads onto a smaller area.
