Default Honda Civic Wagon Concept to debut at Geneva

Honda Civic Wagon Concept to debut at Geneva



Honda is getting warmed up for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, with a sketch of some very Euro-flavored forbidden fruit. Seen above (click on the image to see an expanded view) is the Honda Civic Wagon Concept Model – a rather tentative name for a car that Honda claims "provides strong cues for the exterior design of the final mass produced version."

The sketch seen here is obviously very stylized, but we think that if Honda can stay true to its sleek rounded forms and aggressive silhouette, the final product could be quite fetching. Note that this is an image handed out by Honda of Europe, for a European auto show – we have every expectation that that any production-ready Civic wagon will be a Europe-only deal. Sorry, guys.

Europe-only deal
Always is. No surprise. Better higher grade interior too

I suspect that if a Civic wagon were offered here in the U.S., particularly if it was an AWD one like back in the 1980s, the American-market CR-V wouldn't quite sell in the huge numbers it does. Not everyone buys a CR-V just to have AWD or winter-capability...they also like its large, roomy cargo area, which a Civic wagon would also (to a slightly lesser extent) provide.
