Dear supporters,
thank you for signing the petition and believing in the true power of dreams.
Yesterday, Honda North America announced that by the end of 2015 it will begin producing the new VTEC Turbo engines.
Without mentioning anything about the chassis that will carry the turbo powerplants, it placed these very exciting news deep inside an announcement about the Honda FCV 2018 Concept.

"New VTEC® Turbo Engines
Before the end of the year, Honda will begin to introduce our new 4-cylinder VTEC® Turbo engines – an extension of its Earth Dreams™ Technology powertrain lineup – that will deliver fun-to-drive performance while supporting fuel efficiency at a very high level. Production of the new VTEC® Turbo engines will begin later this year at Honda's Anna, Ohio, engine plant, the largest automobile engine plant in Honda's global production network1. Honda is investing $340 million at the Anna Engine Plant to produce the VTEC® Turbo 4-cylinder engines using domestic and globally sourced parts, including the addition of a third assembly line for production of 4-cylinder engines and additional manufacturing innovations."
So the same engine that is powering the Civic Type R in Europe will be also made here in North America. The question remains about the type of car that will be powered by the latest turbo technology.
Is it going to be just another Civic Si with a turbo engine or are they going to deliver a real type r ?
Don't get me wrong, the turbo engines coming is huge but in my humble opinion Honda does not want to upset the already declining sales for a short lived 9th generation Civic.
The 10th generation civic is just around the corner and we have received confirmation that a turbo powerplant will be available. My sources tell me that there are going to be various turbocharged options. The Civic will come in sedan, hatchback and coupe options. The Si model will be powered by a 1.5 L (210HP-220HP) turbo vtec engine and the type r will be powered by the 2.0L (280HP-300HP) with the sedan getting the DOHC DDI 1.8 L engine (155HP-160HP).
Thank you for believing in this petition and supporting a nobel cause.
I started a community for the Generation X (10th) Civic and you are most welcome to join it and discuss these very exciting news.

All the best and thank you again for supporting this petition. Please keep sharing it until Honda officially announces the lineup.
Yours truly ,
