Oh, I admit it might not be the most sexy of the history of the Civic. To me, it is THE Civic. As a 90's kid, it's rectangular-shaped lines are what a Civic looks like. It is the third generation Civic (1983-1987).

I should do a full feature on all the darned Honda Civics that Hot Wheels and Matchbox have dropped on us the last few years. It would be a fun feature, and maybe I will do it. But I don’t want to right now. I want to concentrate on the new Civics. The two new …

So. Here we go. Let’s talk about one of my favorite new brands of the moment : Inno64.

Catching up on all the sneaks the HW Design Team has been rolling out. Honestly, when I scrolled into this post the other day, I did not think I was looking at a Hot Wheels. Partly great photography, but mostly a great model. We have seen a lot of the FK8 Type R in 1/64, …

Going Super TH on the EF Civic is a great first Super TH for Hot Wheels in 2019. It is also a fantastic addition to the EF Civic family. The decos have stayed relatively clean, making this a fun casting to collect. So with the Super and 2019 Basic out, it is a good time …

Collectors in Canada, Australia, and elsewhere have already been enjoying the Hot Wheels Honda 70 set for awhile now. Enough to figure out there is a nice wheel variation on one of the Civics.

Let's start with this pic: It's a bunch of Hondas. Not all Hot Wheels Hondas, but some. The first three are 80's/90's era Hondas, and that one in the back is a newer Honda with a deco inspired by an 80's era Honda. But you probably have that figured out. It was quite a thing …
