whew, was about to have a serious case of buyers remorse

They named the engine after the torque rating?
Ah China and Japan and their strange product names.
FYI, there's a roller coaster in Tokyo called "Thunder Dolphin".

Sure it's not coming with a 220cc Honda motorcycle/ATV engine?

I love the orange.

Man I feel like I just got robbed. I would totally hit that . I have a feeling that motor will be in the Si.

Their 220 might mean something else with our 220, I'm doubtful that we'll get that engine on the SI ( and thankful). Although we probably will get a motor with 220 Horsepower or more it will be a different engine.

is it really vtec turbo? i heard its just a badge. there was some thread implying this here.

I'm confused about the 220. Is that hp? Or displacement? Could it be the 174hp measured in BHP, instead of normal HP, or they may be measuring engine output from the crank, instead of the wheels? Idk, it's hard to believe that they'd get such a superior power output than we do, and I doubt the Si will have that meager amount of power.

Time to start looking up import costs haha. I wish we had this option here.

Seems like the same 1.5 turbo engine. Hmmm I wonder what makes it 220hp if the US has the same motor...could it be the tune? Mods?

 

[Slickone]

174HP = 217 PS (European measurement). ?

This says it all, people. It's not 220HP, it's torque...

 

[PandaXpress]

I also have a feeling the Asian markets are calling the Dual VTC (variable valve timing control) the 1.5T have VTEC for marketing prurposes

Updated with new 2016 Civic teaser video for China:




Spotted this while screwing around on Instagram. Appears to be 2 Tourings in a Vitamin C paint. I thought maybe it was a wrap but it looks too natural to be a wrap. I zoomed in and the cars appear to be in a Honda lot in some foreign country.

The clear sidemarkers and asian writing makes me believe this is a Thailand edition

That is definitely in china,That Civic is made in China which is Honda Co-coporation whit chinese.It only come 1.5L Turbo (CVT/6MT).

220 is torque
