"The gas models of the Civic will all use i-VTEC, featuring "new technology" (direct injection?). Worldwide, the Civic will be offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5-door versions."

Notes;

iVTEC I4 motors are from honda's newer K series motors (TSX, RSX, CRV, element, accord), so the civic will almost certainly get a variant of this motor, probably RSX derived since the chassis are related. This actually already exists in Asian markets, where the civic makes 155 HP and has a 5AT. The current US market civic uses D series motors, which is ~15 year old family.

nice, the new audis are getting direct injection too. will give the civic a nice little power boost. cant wait to see all the other companies using direct injection too, and get into a horse power war at the low end ofthe market
