Following negative response journalists and decreasing sales figures, Ito took responsibility for the vehicle's abysmal performance in the US. The decision backfired, as rival automakers increased the quality and feature content of their compact vehicles around the same time, pushing sales of Civic rivals such as the Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra to new heights in the US. Honda CEO Takanobu Ito explained that the ninth-generation Civic was developed during the height of the global financial crisis, which led the company to believe that consumers would be willing to forego upscale content and quality in new vehicles as long as they were fuel efficient and affordable. The Civic was originally planned to become bigger, but after the global crisis in 2008, Honda wanted to make the car smaller, lighter and more fuel-efficient, while increasing space inside. The new model is slightly smaller and lighter than the outgoing models. The vehicle features an all-new sheet metal, with a longer hood but still a familiar profile-Honda calls it the "one-motion" design. It was also presented in Brazil in November 2011, and Thailand in March 2012, while was sold in Australia from March 2012, and Europe in June 2012.

In May 2010, a Honda executive stated that the ninth-generation Civic was to be delayed into 2011 because of changing market conditions and tougher fuel economy and emissions regulations. However, the ninth-generation Civic sedan was temporarily produced in Japan for exports in early 2012 due to suspended production in the Ayutthaya plant as the result of 2011 Thailand floods.
