The car is due midway through the year and according to a new report will come with an available CVT instead of a dual-clutch transmission. The standard transmission will be a 6-speed manual.
The report comes from the November issue of CAR (via ) and has been compiled with information provided by senior Honda staff Mirsuru Kariya, Daisuke Tsutamori and Katsushi Inoue. Kariya and Tsutamori are the head engineer and head designer for the Civic line, respectively, while Inoue is the head of Honda in Europe.

Cold or Rainy Weather Driving Models with 2.0-L engine: Summer-only and Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires are very sensitive to ambient temperatures and are designed to be used at temperatures above 45°F (7°C). Below that temperature, Summer-only and UHP tires provide decreasing amounts of grip and other performance attributes. At temperatures below -4°F (-20°C), the tire treads may become brittle, resulting in permanent damage to the tread.

A damaged tire may fail during use. Therefore, if you will operate the vehicle when temperatures are below 45°F (7°C), we recommend you install other tires (e.g., mud+snow, winter) designed to perform under the expected conditions.
