The US Hatch rear lights look lights the one from the sedan (no rear fog lights)
The European Hatch rear lights are the one from the first site, because rear fog lights are necessary by law in Europe.
And the sidemarkers are in europe transparent and used as turn signals (besides the ones in the mirrors)
Ah yes rear fog lights... I see some EDM in my future (not just Tiesto).

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any mention of the CTR? Just the hatchback?
Exactly what I saw. Disappointing. Hopefully it makes a surprise appearance?

Honda has officially announced that the 2017 Civic Hatchback will be making its official public debut at the Paris Auto Show next month. Being an European show, it will be the European market version that is shown, which basically only differs from the North American version by not having certain reflectors. The hatchback to be displayed will likely be in red, as the teaser image below indicates.

The 5 door hatchback Civic will arrive in North American dealerships this Fall and will go on sale in Europe starting early 2017. In North America, the Civic hatchback will come with a 1.5L turbo engine with 174 hp / 162 lb-ft torque. Sport and Sport Touring models will feature uprated 180 hp / 162 lb-ft of torque.

In addition to the hatchback, Honda will also be bringing the Civic sedan to the Paris show. And there are even some rumors that a Civic Type R concept closely resembling the production model may make a surprise appearance.

Like the type of red used in the picture above. Cannot wait to see the latest concept Type R.

Guys and gals - My expectation for the 'surprise' in Paris is the 2017 CRV unfortunately. This is just my guess based on the fact that it is due out and we haven't seen it otherwise. They sell more CRV's than Civics (ok it goes back and forth depending on year) so they're certainly not going a year without one.

All this said I hope we see the TypeR instead!!!

Word is the CTR is nearly production ready. Entirely possible we may see one in Paris. But the other side of me thinks they'll debut it in the market where it's offered first.

Someone speculated North American Auto Show. I think they are probably right.

I'd love to see it in Paris to end the speculation etc, but I really think we'll see the high-volume CRV first. If it doesn't appear at Paris, I'm not quite sure what 'world stage' would be appropriate to debut it considering the new model year should be in production now (or very soon.)

I thought so but I couldn't find it so I thought it was a different forum.
I'm as excited as if it was Xmas!
