they are just playing it safe, as in true Honda fashion lately.

I wonder what Euro Civic hatchback will be looking like - current gen is still one of the best designed cars on the road.

Agreed. The FN2 is a neat-looker. In fact, I saw one pop in the local grey importer near my house and my gawd, it's a rarity (imported all the way from Europe).

You mean 3 out of 6? Am I the only one that actually read the article? It beat out the Cruze and Elantra, both of which many are hailing as the end of the Civic's domination. They praised the new Civic for its excellent handling and quality. I can't blame Honda for sticking to their successful formula, but it couldn't have hurt to develop that formula further. On a side note, I saw the all new Civic sedan in Berkeley a couple of weeks ago and I must say it looks better in person than the Elantra.

I haven't researched any on the subject, but what is the advantage to DI? Cleaner burn? Less emissions? I don't know about other automakers, but I know Audi and VW are having issues with carbon deposits on a lot of the FSI motors.
