LAS VEGAS — Honda Access America, the Japanese automaker's accessories development arm, has come up with a new way to elevate performance in these fuel-conscious times with the 2009 Honda Civic HFP Concept. It will be on display at the 2008 SEMA Show.
Under a custom paint scheme, the Civic HFP starts with an aerodynamic body kit from Honda Factory Performance that bundles new front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a deck lid spoiler. Honda adds an upgraded HFP suspension kit, a lighter HFP exhaust system and superlight alloy wheels with aerodynamic covers.
The result is a subtle but effective kick in the pants to a fairly pedestrian compact car, with little or no compromise in fuel economy.
Inside Line says: Leave it to Honda to come up with an elegant engineering solution to this automotive conundrum. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
