Sort of hard to tell since there hasn't been much to compare it against. If we assume the drawing and the pic are at the same scale yes it is huge but it may e smaller in reality.

Yea I seriously doubt the scale is correct if trying to compare them. The Civic would not bet near as all as the Crosstour I wouldn't think, which shrinks the whole scale down.

16 Civic hatchback

http://www.civicx.com/threads/will-t...spy-photos.41/

Finally they spotted the hatchback and it almost has no camo. Could be disguised as an ILX they are saying..

Hooray! It looks just like every other car I see on my drive in to work! Yay for maintaining the status quo!

Its funny, yesterday on my way home I had what I thought a civic drive towards me, I just noticed in rear view mirrot it was a hatch back. I had to do a double take, oh yes it was a KIA LOL!

Now turns out we will get a civic hatchback. It looks jacked up like a HRV. Would love to see them side by side.

Not saying there is an option. But it's supposed to come from the factory that way. I think I read 300+hp

You didn't read anyting about offical #s for the civic type r that will be coming to the states.

Because there has been nothing on it except: The states will be getting a type r in a couple of years.
