A pity this thing isn't being unleashed on the US market, where Honda's image is always in need of a Jolt. I guess they wanted to bracket things all nice 'n tidy between the Fit/Jazz and the US Civic Sedan/Coupe.

I was checking out some info on the Euro Civic on Honda's UK site and was very impressed. It really holds some show car elements that you wouldn't expect in a production vehicle.
