This is not exactly a leak, but we doubt Honda wanted them out in public. These are drawings of the next-generation Honda Civic, dug up from patent filings by Honda. Patent filings are kind of like going on record legally so that no one else copies their designs.

Found by fanboy site CivicX, the production-version drawings show both the sedan and coupe body styles. The sedan seems to have gained in size relative to the current model. The coupe looks almost the same as the concept shown earlier, only more dumbed down for mass production. The coupe unlikely to be offered in the GCC.

Engines for many markets are expected to include a turbo motor, although it remains to be seen if we get that in the UAE and GCC. For now, you can be sure that there is a new Honda Civic sedan on the way, as a 2016 or possibly 2017 model.
