<br />
It was the early 1990s when the last Honda Civic Wagon graced our shores, looking more like a squat five-door hatchback with an extra dose of charm. Well, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> debuted the newest Civic <s>Wagon</s> Tourer at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/frankfurt-auto-show/">Frankfurt Motor Show</a> today, but, as <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/11/honda-civic-tourer-frankfurt-debut/">we reported last month</a>, it's a European model that will go on sale there early next year. There's still no word of it coming to the US.<br />
<br />
The Civic Tourer was designed by Honda's European studio, and its overall look comes across as more muscular, sporty and stylish than both the sedan and two-door coupe, with bulging fenders and revised windows. Adrian Killham, large project leader for the Civic Tourer, has commented on the styling, saying, "Recently launched cars have tended to follow a similar style. The Civic Tourer has a different balance and appeal." We appreciate the sentiment, and the Tourer's shape is a big reason why we like it.<br />
<br />
But we also like the 22 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats up, which grows to a gargantuan 59 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. The big <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/civic/">Civic</a><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> will be powered by either a 1.8-liter four-cylinder petrol engine with i-VTEC or a 1.6-liter Earth Dreams i-DTEC diesel engine. Manual and automatic transmissions will be offered.</span><br />
