Not only does the '06 Civic Hatch have struts up front, but it has a torsion beam out back ;)

I think that we're safe in America, but the Euros get the torsion beam:

Front: MacPherson strut, coil spring, gas pressurised shock absorber, anti-roll bar
Rear: Torsion beam, coil spring, gas pressurised shock absorber

Struts all around? What do you drive, a Camry? 😀

good lord that's ugly

even i'll have to admit it's backwards for the likes of honda. 🙁

but i am looking towards the new 6spd auto. i'm hoping honda has put the antonov gearbox from concept to production - finally starting to get rid of the torque converter a la DSG. =)
