Civic FD, What does 'FD' standard for?

it doesn't stand for anything except it's extracted fromt the chassis code of the car, used to identify the different generations of civic.

 

for e.g. prior to this was the ES8(1.5L) / ES5(1.6L) and also ES1(1.7L)

 

for the new civic, FD1(1.8L) / FD2(2.0L) / FD3(Hybrid) and also FD4(1.6L)

 

the same goes for other makes of cars, for e.g. Mitsubishi Evo has the CT9A chassis code, however Evo X, will use a completely redesigned chassis, so the code may change.

 

hope that answers ur n00b question.

FL = face lift (just some enhancements over current design like 2006 FL Corolla Altis)

FD = face design (a totally new look and design)

Could it be "Fresh Design"?

None. It's just a chassis/generation name, as in

 

RX7 FC

RX7 FD

Integra DB2

Integra DC5

Civic EG6

Civic EK9... and so on.

 

Common practice for JDM to keep the model name as is, and differentiate by this chassis indicator.

 

They don't stand for anything.
