I was told by SA that Honda is indeed planning to launch the 1.5 turbo as the top of the range Civic. Price wise, they might roll out 2 range of 2.0L that is estimated to be similar to the current 9th gen 1.8L range while the 1.5L turbo should be 135K or 140K. Price wise, it "should not" eat into Accord's territory.

Apparently they're open for booking for a small fee and expected to launch in June.

Quoted by SA, don't shoot me if I'm wrong.
