New Civic Hatch

Hi all,

So after months of deliberation I'm pretty locked in for a new Accord Euro Lux Navi for Februrary 2013. (financial reasons.....)


I just saw the new Civic hatch is coming mid 2012. For the price we are talking about - what are the chances of a 4 door type-r hatch early next year?

In the US we have seen the 2.4 litre K series. Is there any evidence out there suggesting a 2.4l motor in Aussie Civics?

I have not seen anything bigger than 1.8 in the Euro Civic so far.

Of course we are yet to see the Japanese Civic.
My questions are oblique and I guess im looking for any inside information or even speculation about what we can expect to see. https://civichatch.honda.com.au/default.aspx
