Following the not so good news about the debut of Honda Civic's ninth generation, excitement for Civic's tenth generation has been gaining momentum, especially now that information about its colors and interior has leaked online.

According to Auto Blog, aside from the familiar colors of the current Civic, there will be nine exterior paint colors available for the 2016 Honda Civic tenth edition. The blog mentioned the colors to be: Taffeta White, White Orchid Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic, Rallye Red, Lunar Silver Metallic, Aegean Blue Metallic, Cosmic Blue Metallic, and Burgundy Night Pearl. The interior colors available, on the other hand, are black, gray, or ivory.

Honda also describes the new Civic as "sporty" and more angular than the previous model. The car is also lower and wider this time, which works well for its type, and unlike the traditional trunk, it has a sportback sort of design.

Its interiors are also something to take note of, as many people are saying that Honda got it right this time. The clean and simple design is mainly attributed to the fact that its handful of controls have been put together in a centralized infotainment system. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay users will also find that the new system is compatible their devices, and now, it plays on a seven-inch display.

As safety is of importance, Honda Civic is also offering a suite of semi-autonomous safety features, called Honda Sensing suite, in the upcoming model. The options that would be available are Collision Mitigation Breaking, Road Departure Mitigation, and an adaptive cruise control setting called Low-Speed Flow, which is perfect for heavy traffic.

The price for the new Civic still remains a mystery, although current models have been priced at $18,490, going up to $19,290 for people who are not fond of manual transmission. If all goes well, the cost of the new Civic might be just worth it this time.
