Eventually, Honda is expected to mold the Civic to look more like its futuristic-looking counterparts sold in foreign markets. For the 2011 Civic, however, styling changes are unlikely. Honda will probably offer a few new body colors to distinguish the 2011 from the previous model, but other than that, the car will remain unchanged. The 2011 Honda Civic is expected to be the last model released before a complete design overhaul. See our gallery of photos to check out how the new Civic will look.
