I saw a review claiming there would be a 2.0 turbo diesel, a 1.4 turbo, and a 1.5 ecotec engine. The last seems weak in power to weight ratio for US tastes (about 118 hp, 110 ft lbs torque, and 2700 lbs is kinda early 1990s Civic range). I'd like the weaker engine for the ecotec, but my countrymen want "horses"... turbo diesel is pretty exciting too. That would be fun to test drive.
