Is the Citrus Back?

Came across this image of a European (UK) market Civic in the Citrus-like color.

Anyone know of it's worldwide availability?

Is it just me, or does the front end on the Euro market version look 10x better than the US market one?

Also: from the UK Honda site the color is called "Yellow Topaz." And they get a nice looking hatch version while we just get the option of a two door coupe (w/ trunk, boo).

It does look awesome! I have seen the 5 door hatch and Si in Spain and it is really a good looking car.

I sat in the top of the line model at the Danish auto exhibition, really nice
car, and the leather interior was soft as a glove.

Does the hatch come in three door or only five? Is the hatch exclusively available in the Si only, or are there other trim/engine options?

The new Euro Civic is only available as 5-door hatch, and here in my country
you have 3 different engine choices.

1.4 SOHC i-VTEC 100 Bhp.
1.8 SOHC i-VTEC 142 Bhp.
2.2 DOHC i-DTEC 150 Bhp.

And it comes in the following trims.

S
Comfort
Sport
Executive

I have seen the (confidential) dealer info, and there is a 1.3 diesel in the pipeline too, i am pretty sure that will be put into the Jazz too, as a lot of
Euro countries are very pro diesel.

Interesting. So is the 2.2 DTEC a diesel?

**faxe** · 12-25-2011, 03:13 PM

Yes, i-DTEC is diesel.

The previous (or current) version has become very overweight over the former model. How about weight? Diesel-automatic? What about a hybrid version?

I guess this citrus-like old insight is a respray.
(I have an actual citrus, which I will be selling soon, anyone interested?)
---- more details to come.
