Just one model year after a complete redesign, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> saw fit to make some pretty big changes to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/civic/">Civic</a> for 2013. Now, with the car about to hit dealers, we're getting our first look at the company's advertising direction for its high-volume compact car. Done as a comic-book-style action cartoon, this video is for the sportier <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/civic si/">Civic Si</a> models and is obviously geared toward younger, more enthusiast-oriented buyers.<br />
<br />
In the video, our two hero drivers pilot a Civic Si coupe and sedan against a bunch of <em>Mad Max</em>-like vehicles with <em>Tron</em>-like consequences. Like any good commercial, this ad crams many of the car's key features into the two-minute video showing off new features like Bluetooth and a text message reader.<br />
