I was being polite, coz I didn't know how else to phrase it at the time.

Anyhow, the reason why I doubt the figures (I'm not saying it's impossible) is because there are many other cars of similar weight and power that does 0 to 100 at least a second to 2 slower. And what the Civic is designed for, isn't mainly for spirited driving.

6 to 7s range pretty much puts the car as an enthusiasts performer type sports car. Typically cars that can accelerate that fast are your typical mk7 Golf GTI, Clio RS, P208 GTI, Polo GTI, Fiesta ST, Focus ST, FD2R to name a few. C250, A3 1.8/2.0, A250, F20 125i, F30 328i also fall around this range. And note that many of the listed cars are either about the same weight, sports a dual clutch or MT, and also push out a lot more power and torque (except for the FD2R).

7.7s to 8.5s range is certainly plausible, any faster and I'd like to see a properly lap tested time on video.

Very very unlikely to be ready in May'16 to arrive in Malaysia, that timeline is more likely for the facelifted accord. The new Civic not even started assembly in thailand and will only start in March'16. Factor in qualification run, quality checks, line assembly optimisation, shift arrangements, stock buildup and other bla bla bla, last quarter (at earliest) of 2016 would be more likely for our market. I have a sinking feeling that it would launch around end of the year. On the optimistic side, thailand could start selling it in mid 2nd quarter or early 3rd quarter.
