To settle things once and for all, the Civic will only be launched in sedan form here in Asia. For any doubters who might still think otherwise, I point them to the 2005 Mid-Year CEO Speech Summary by the Honda President and CEO Mr Takeo Fukui which Honda released in their official 'Worldwide' website (the link to the full speech is available at the end of this article). That speech contains specific reference to the (at that time) soon to be launched 'New Civic', the most relevant portion which I extracted below.The all-new Civic was developed with four body types to meet the unique requirements of each region. For the Japanese market, an emotional and stylish sedan which goes beyond the concept of the traditional Civic was developed. For the U.S. market, 2-door and 4-door types were developed, while a 4-door was also developed for Asia and 3-door and 5-door types were developed exclusively for Europe. </blockquote>
