Hi All,

I love the new Civic. The style really is nice. As a outdoor person who likes to hike/camp/mtn. bike and camp, the Hatchback is the practical choice for me.

Oh what I wouldn't give to get an Si Hatchback if they made one..

I know it is a year away but, I love the new civic style so I dropped the idea of a GTI for the new civic. I noticed there isn't much discussion here on the hatchback. I'm hoping that will change in time. Mean while I will enjoy the Forums, listen and learn.

Glad To Be Here,

Becky

I'm thinking mid 2016 anyway. Looked at Ford Focus ST, GTI 2015 and even a Forester. I have always been partial to skate designs (wagonish styles) for their functionality. Hoping mods will be available to personalize the ride..

Hey Becky welcome to the boards! We just don't have much information available to us yet about the hatchback!! Trust me, there are more then a few of us here who are just as eager to know what Honda has in store for us!!!

Where are you located BTW?

Seattle, WA. Go Seahawks !

I doubt it'll be that early... think late 2016... most likely because, the US is only getting a limited production number of hatches (until honda knows how well they'll sell) while the UK will still get 90% of the hatches built there since that's their only model. So i'd imagine we'll get the hatch AFTER they have it and they get the plant up and running 100% to build enough stock to ship some over.

Drat. Makes me feel like the ugly stepchild I'm not. My most anticipated piece of information is how sloped the rear is. Hoping they don't slop the rear down too much. That would eliminate storage capacity and muck up the roof line.
