Honda Civic 2012 Prototype Looks Like Mercedes Benz C200

Once the 2012 Mercedes C-Class coupe shows up at the end of summer, the full range will include the aforementioned 201-hp turbocharged C250, the 302-hp C350 V6, the 228-hp C300 4Matic with the current-gen V6. Naturally, there will also be the 451-hp naturally aspirated C63 AMG coupe that will be available with a 480-hp Performance Pack and what looks to be a 4.3-second scorch to 60 mph. We'll have more on the latter in a separate First Drive soon.


A decade ago, Honda's lineup included the likes of the S2000, Civic Si, Acura NSX and Integra/RSX -- and the Prelude had only just been discontinued, with 2001 being its last year. These days, the options are substantially more limited. There's the oddball CR-Z and the only member of the above list to make it out of the aughts, the Civic Si. Somewhat of a constant in Honda's lineup for some two decades, the continued presence of the Si has served as a beacon of hope for enthusiasts even as the rest of its sporty brethren died off one by one over the past decade, each leaving no heirs. But the Si, like the rest of the Civic lineup, has just undergone a fairly significant transformation, bringing its hope-bringer status into question.


But anyone saw the latest honda civic 2012 prototype? Seems like the new mercedes benz c200 from the back. See the images above, what do you think guys?
