It appears that the new Civic is due to be available with a 1.6L SOHC engine. This variant will become the entry level Civic in Singapore, designated as the new VTi. Check it out at:

However, it is unlikely to reach Australian shores I guess, as there is no need to - Jazz sales would be adversely affected I would imagine. Furthermore, a 1.6L variant would unlikely be successful in competing against other cars such as the corolla and Tiida, or the Mazda 3.

What are your thoughts?

Yeh, dont really think a 1.6L is neccessary in oz. Here all the 1.8 civics are still in so high demand. Pushing another model in would just be pointless,esp with the jazz as u said.

i agree... in video gamed speak Honda is getting PwN3d in the respect department atm. All of a sudden hot hatches and performance is taking over again like the 1990s and u have Golf GTi, mazda3s, Focus Xr5, Astras, Sportivo Corrollas with proper KW figures taking over...

and mitsu are responding fast with the turbo colts and ralliart lancers.

and toyo are bringing out TRD in asutralia...

and then honda decides to cancel the teggy and all and you guys have is the civic sport.......112kw... yay.. wow...
