Good point but I wouldn't rule it out on the 6MT. The 9th Gen has the older Sensing package on the GT. We may not see adaptive cruise control but the other options like BSI and lane departure might make it over.In the article, they claim to have eliminated the "metal thrashing" of the CVT. If it has paddle shifters it may be indistinguishable from a DCT.
BTW, a CVT option explains why this prototype clearly has the Touring's automated systems. It caused some confusion since that system can't work with a MT.
In my opinion, the CTR shouldn't be delivered with automatic transmission at all. It will kill everything the CTR stands for.http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/magazine/digital-preview-of-the-new-issue-of-car-magazine/
Download it for yourselves.
I find it so odd that people are putting their hands over their ears and going," LA LA LA I can't hear you!" Whenever someone mentions new Tech and the CTR.
In one of the most innovative cars of the last decade, what is so incredible about putting an option of a cutting edge drivetrain into the flagship of the Honda line? The NSX has a DCT, so why is it so odd to think that the CTR would want to take advantage of the performance gain of a CVT?
All that article is doing is re-interating what @Browncoat3000 said in the first place. This doesn't prove anything more..This is one of the few auto sites that I trust...

(emphasis mine)"There's no indication of a dual-clutch gearbox for the Civic: the announced automated option is a CVT, although engineer Kariya hastily adds that he's tried to head-off the typical rev-metal thrash by making the cooking engines tractable at low revs"
lol I was in a hurry at work I forgot to add that other websites are going to take Civic x forum's info...All that article is doing is re-interating what @Browncoat3000 said in the first place. This doesn't prove anything more..
