theres only 1 person on the entire Pakwheels who said it might be 1400cc, Even toyota deleted the triptronic from Altis to have the same gear box for the same engine (i.e Gli 1.6 and Altis 1.6)
Why on earth would Honda import 2 seperate transmission for the same cars? i.e (A/T and P/T) ? Specialy when they didnt come up with the 1.6 Civic, Which could help Honda have an additional sales.
Once again instead on giving City a extra touch a lower end Civic is required. Im not against the City Aspire idea but Civic was much more Zaroori to shake Toyota. This would only give a push to Corolla sales in my personal view.
Honda has tried to price City close to Xli, Then higher then Xli, then they had to reverse the price, Happened twice (a)when IDSI facelift came out, b) when 3rd Gen City came out.)
Both the times the idea failed.
Even now they are trying to do the same. to me a Cheaper Civic wud have had been a wiser decision.
