its actualy 30mm shorter than 8th gen, wheel base is a bit shorter, its easy to compare differences when u have the 8th gen next to the 9th gen. bonnet it longer, back is higher, better visability out the front A piller and supposed to drive worlds apart.

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

thank god they didnt as we would never sell any cars!

u can buy a type R if u want manual.

we sold hardly any sport manuals in the 8th gen and when we had one in stock it hung around for months so why would we want a manual only sport?

it has much better low down torque than DOCH and thats where the civic needs power.

Er... they did this already... with Type R! Lol!

3 years since last time I drove my Civic Sports (still seeing it sometimes being driven pass the Harbour Bridge) but I still feels that They should call The lineup: VTi, VTi-L and VTi-S. Dont use "Sport" just... "S"

strictly my opinion here but I think the exterior styling has taken a step back from the 8th Gen. The front has a similarity to the City (not in a good way) and the rear is horrible.

Interior looks OK from the pics but will need to have a sit on the car before I can comment more.
