First look at the new CIVIC for Australia

[hondarox]

I won't buy the 1.8L then.
I'll test drive the Made in Japan Mazda 3 this weekend.

BORING!Wheres the Euro-spec Civic hatch?

[RyDC5S]

but its a much slower 2L engine compared to integra and euro.
proof?? that they wont realease..

Civic Si has the same K20 series engine in the Integras.

CIVIC SEDAN 1395kg !!!!!
I must be really living in the past. Where's the agile, stylish, economical 7-900kg 3D hatch of old? I 'm not interested in tallboy armoured tanks!

I know yeah.

Bring back the lightweight hatches.

[UNLS1]

so oz will get 1.8 civic, and the 2.0 civic and hybrid...

cant wait to sell these babies

[Jonathon]

yer i got the 1990 GL sedan and it's 930kg

[**Ghost**]

I know yeah.

Bring back the lightweight hatches.

the jazz is the lightweight hatch... live with it like it or not j/k


civics will never be lightweight nemore... its kinda a medium sized sedan

[RyDC5S]

Jazz is a damn mini-van!

EG/EK Civic.... thats a hatch!

[hondarox]

Credos to Honda Oz for getting both the 1.8L and 2.0L !

[panda[cRx]]

as if !! we'll be lucky if we get the SOHC iVTEC R18 let alone ANY K20 civic.. sigh coupe..

It'll only be 1.8L version.

They won't release the 2.0L one as this will effect Euro and Integra sales.

aus will be getting a 2L DOHC i-VTEC y0 civic!! (ie. some variation of k20a)

however i think it may be limited to the sedan (hopefully not)

i've read the technician handbook for it and i almost got to go to the 06 civic test drive day but i already had other commitments at work

[bigdongers]

any pictures of the new civic hatch?
