should be DOHC..

They are still an UGLY POS that is the bargain option and not a real sports option. 115KW???? You have to be kidding Honda. My 16 year old import Honda Civic puts out more than that and it looks like a car, not a bug with wheels.

Honda Australia - once again screwing over the real Hondas for granny-carts.

Plenty of cars from other manufacturers that leave Honda Australia's "plan" for dead.

Anyone who buys a gimped piece of crap just because it is a Honda deserves to be laughed at.

EK4s and EM1s were the last of the real Honda Civics - anything else is a Euro/Toyota carbon copy.

and YES first thing I thought was 'more K20' swaps thanks to many more to be sold and rolling on AUS roads in these Civic Sports.

PLUS headswap of the Type S or EURO's to iVTEC on both intake AND exhaust and then there's the K24 Frankenstein option..

but man fo f'sake !! it's a 4-door.. I'm sorry but a 4-door sedan is not sporty unless you are a commodore driver !!

if sales go good for this new 8th Gen in AUS, we'll more than likely get the coupe next year, but the 5-door still being built in Europe is unlikely.

Bring on the K20 coupe or bring on 2008 and a CRX/DC5 replacement !!

i disagree.
how the hell can a commodore be a sports car they look like a regurgitated chev thats been spat on by all american car manufacturers!!!!
sedans can look sporty if you do the right aesthetics to them...

now tell me that isnt sporty...
the new civic has a hell of alot of potential for being sporty

and whats funny... when i hear people saying they wouldn't pay mid 40s for an accord euro.. that they would prefer to buy a holden!! LMAO dumbest shit I've ever heard....

too right thats true...i would buy any honda ova any auzzie made crap..doesnt matter how fast they are...there holdens and fords and fall to pieces only after a few months

Exactly... afterall reliability should be everyones concern... You could give me a clubsport, I'd still choose a little civic... I don't care if the clubsport would maul the civic to bits in performance/power... but seriously where can you use all this power besides the track?? The civic would run the clubsport in the ground when it comes to reliability..

Hmm plenty of potential for this car.

I/H/E and ecu tune?
