This is sooo fail and such a big disappointment.

Being the Honda fan boy I am, I thought this new Accord would be something I could be proud of.

This really shows how backwards Honda Australia...

So can I clarify.
This new Accord has the Earth Dream label on the engine, yet doesn't have Direct Injection?

I've heard nothing about a new Euro Accord overseas. In fact I've heard that they may not release a new version.
What is your source for the Euro?
I'm interested...

Huh? The US and OZ civic were the same...

Yeah, read that on a car website.
Why have two different quality Civic Sedan's....doesn't make sense.

Series 2 was a switch in production back to Thailand, from Japan.

There was also some equipment/model variation changes too. Wasn't really a Series 2, even though they called it that.

Lets wait...

It will never go to the USA for manufacturing.. However, since the Civic is mostly a world car, our Thailand produced car should also get these updates. I always look to Honda overseas to see what...

I just read the Honda Press release. Expected release sale date is November 29th.

That's not far away. I wonder how long this update will take to filter down to us...should not be too long!

As you may know, the major facelift of the current civic was announced a while ago.

Looks like we may have an announcement shortly at the LA Auto show..

So my advice, hold off if you're...

If your pinging on regular ULP, you should probably try a different service station.

I guess not....still, I think I'll get one :-)

Moderator notified. Nice knowing you.

Yeah, found that interesting too. Kind of cancels out the fuel economy/Co2 emission savings by running on 95RON.

That was not my only conclusion. Why pay for PULP if the car does not deliver any added benefits?


Cleaner fuel? All fuels are "clean". Premium fuels have better "cleaning agents" in them....

Ok, so here are the specs off their website:
SEDAN:
161 (manual) Co2 g/KM
158 (automatic) Co2 g/KM
104kW @ 6500rpm
174Nm @ 4300rpm
Compression Ratio: 10.6 :1
Weight: 1245KG Automatic...

Interesting response from Honda Australia when I posed this question to them on Facebook:
-
"Hi Mark,

Yes the Civic Hatch has the same R18 family engine as the Sedan version.

However, it is...

Guys,

A simple question...
Does the new hatch require PULP?
I am mystified why the hatch requires PULP and the Sedan does not.
Both have the same compression ratio, same power and torque, same...

New images just released of the new USA Accord:

Any other bits of news from your training? ;-)

The Civic Sedan was dropped from the Japanese market a little while ago. There wasn't enough demand there for it.

Nice work Fredoops with the specs.

I'm looking forward to the 'Earth Dreams' motors when they come out. I hope they introduce them into the Civic, without making people wait for the next...

Cool, thanks for the link.
So it looks like you should be able to get the Sport on the road for 30K

If only we got the Si here...

A bit of a sneak peak at what the 2012 Civic will look like when it arrives in March.

Interestingly, we don't get a different style of Civic to the USA version.

Pictures are on page 2 of the...

Finally, some really good news in regards to engine technology:

Now all Honda Australia need to do is price their product...

The VtiS has gone in the wrong direction. Series 1 had the conservative, yet sporty look. This series 2 is going after a much younger crowd, which would limit its appeal I would think.

It kind of...
