1800cc SOHC i-Vtec 140ps..........once u get Header, Intake, Exhaust + Vtec controler.....is not hard to push it up to 150-160ps.....thats enough to beat the Lancers

And it has simular torque ratings as past B18xx engines. Mmmm I want one. Would be a very nice cruiser. Especially Black

Still funny though how there latest technology 2.4 Liter MIVEC engine still pushes less than a b16a which is only 1.6L and 15 year old technology.

its funny. when the initial pics came out, most people bagged it out and everything. but now we get the mugen versions and suddenly its the best thing since sliced bread

looks a bit too much like my 7th gen for my liking. i like the interior, very nice

the blue mugen ones (if you squint hard enough) looks like a mini version of an XR6T etc with the blue, big wing, the glasshouse/windows, quad headlight etc

bet ya Honda Aus doesn't bring out all these hot bits though

damn new civic interior looks nice pity I just got my accord vti. (if I only had held out for a few more months I could have got the civic and save myself a few grand) sighs

Although it seems we will only get the sedan in OZ I think that it looks great.It looks more classy and "grown up" than the Lancer and yes,I know that the Lancer now has the 2.4 ltr,well,so does Honda ,not in the Civic ,but at least it has 140 kw and 223 NM,which shows that Honda is just in another league with it's engines.Imagine if Honda decided to do a 2.4 ltr for the S2000 !!
Anyway,check out the link below.
