Default Preview: 2006 8th gen Honda Civic 4dr?

According to the official annoucement, it will be released after the Frankfurt Car show on September. It comes with a new 1.8L 140hp SOHC engine. Please notice that "Hidden" rear doors in the picture. It looks 90% similar to the concept Civic shown before.

Honda should just go back to making the civic look like the 99-00. It kills all of these new body styles.

That's the European only 5-door hatch. We're getting a proper 4 door sedan here in North America.

SOHC with 140 Hp. Correct me if I'm wrong. Is that a 6 speed?

looks like a six speed. I am confused too. Have you seen the new 1.8L Honda Engine? I have seen the pictures so I confirmed that one is a SOHC engine. For this civic, the news said it is 1.8L producing 140hp so I automatically assume this is a SOHC engine (base model). I think six speed verison should come with the DOHC engine, like SI model.

All Euro civics will come with six-speed transmissions (auto and manual).

US civics will get 5AT or 5MT with the Si as an exception, which will have the 6MT.

Got this from autoweek. If you ask me, that's a pretty sexy rear end for a stock sedan.
