stormrider Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 the new honda civic is a new global platform however that picture you have is the 3 door hatch which is only available in Europe only! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, that is a 5-door hatch. Quote Link to comment
stormrider Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Expect the "early adopter" type of buyer to grab these babies come April. Honda will most likely offer 1.8- and 2.0-liter versions. As for the 197-hp, 2-liter Si version, dream on. By end of the year, Honda will offer an Si in sedan format for the US market. Quote Link to comment

No doubt about it. It looks great. Why some countries can have the better car and we phils cannot. Quote Link to comment

Why some countries can have the better car and we phils cannot.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> its depends on the company if they want to further do some research and investing into making cars fit for Philippines emission / vehicle regulations (if there is one hehe). Its the same as Australia we dont get much left handed cars from America say for example the Mitsubishi Eclipse. Because it would cost Mitsubishi an enormous amounts of funds to get the vehicle converted to a right hand drive and also the costs for the car to meet the required emission regulations we have which is Euro3 i think (the highest, however dont quote!) Not also that some parts of the Eclipse would then need to be replaced as well so it can meet safety regulations, for example the Mitsubishi Evo Tommi Edition cost a cool $90,000 than to the Evo IX $56,000 why because the Tommi Edition had certain parts that didnt not meet safety regulations and would not survive under Australian conditions so new parts had to be installed or be replaced , which ran costs (not also that it was a special edition) but the IX why cheaper than the other Evos to ever came to Australia was because the parts were already researched and tested local so lower costs before any of them were imported to Australia.

thirteen Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 The euro-spec civic is a 5-door hatch. The rear doors have "hidden" door handles found on the rear windows. The possibility of the a new SIR being sold here will depend on how well the new civic sells. Quote Link to comment

jaydraven Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I picked up my 2006 Civic LX the day it came out in Cali last September. So far I love it. The 1.8L has 140HP, 40 miles per gallon. It's great car for normal driving. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
