2.2l diesel w/ 6-speed manual...55mpg!! :eek:

There are some other cool amenities too. It always pisses me off that everyone else gets the cool stuff long before we in the US do. :crying: Sorry if it's a repost.

As said before this car is to suck glad it wont be in the US.

OK, I found a newer one, sorry about the broken link. Again I have to say, why can't we get something like this in the US?

I may be wrong since I'm not an auto expert but I think the reason turbo diesels haven't made it to the US yet is due to their tailpipe emissions. Although they save a ton of gas they still won't meet clean air standards set in most US city/states.

0-60 ouch come on Honda

World Car Fans has a gallery of new spy photos of Honda Motor's Euro-Civic hatchback, apparently in Type-R trim. The lightly disguised Civic looks like it should be a worthy competitor in the european market's hot hatch wars.

Although WCF reports that all models of the new hatch will get sportier suspension tuning than the sedan, the real fun is reserved for the Type-R, which gets a 197 hp 2-liter engine - good for a 0-100 km/h time of 6.5 seconds.

The Civic hatchback hits U.K. showrooms this summer, after its debut at the British Motor Show. The Type-R should appear next year.
