Development history of Honda Civic 1972- 1979 After a period of developing idiosyncratic automobiles such as the lukewarmly received domestic  Honda 1300 , Honda considered pulling out of automobile manufacturing altogether by the early 1970s. However, the more conventional Civic's release in 1972 immediately changed things, thanks to its economy, reliability and low cost in an era of rising fuel prices. Honda's  CVCC  technology helped it make it affordable, meeting 1970s and early 1980s emission standards without an expensive  catalytic converter .
