Honda will be showing off its new concept Civic at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2005. In its 8th generation, the new models are tipped to be equipped with a more powerful engine than the 7th generation models.
A 2.2-litre diesel version with the same engine as the Honda Accord, will also be available. Entry level models will probably have a 1.8-litre petrol engine, pushing the entry price up to around £11,500/12,000.
