This is interesting. The new Civic hatch is up on the Honda UK website. Under the 'Power' section it lists new IMA alongside the 1.4, 1.8 and CDTi.

I was under the impression that in the UK we'd get the US three box Civic IMA again. Anybody know if we'll have a hybrid hatch?

Nope, we will get a four door saloon (as yet unveiled) for the IMA version. See link for a reasonably comprehensive preview:

There is also alot of detail on the Honda EU website (flash player?) about the new Civic hatch:

I like the new hatch and it now looks as though I have three choices next year - Civic hatch diesel (55MPG & good performance) OR Civic IMA (if not too ugly) OR IMAS/Insight 2 (preferred choice if they produce it).
