Should start production in June/July this year, looking at production figures of Honda Atlas. Deliveries likely to begin end-August or early-September.
Not sure if the car will be a big hit, remember what happened with the Corolla Altis (increased engine size from 1.6 to 1.8) - so either the price will have to remain sticky or the City will see a boost in sales if the basic Civic goes over 11 lacks.
