this is what i'd figure honda would do
All Civics
- keep mac strut suspension (however it will be a much improved 2g design)
- power steering rack maybe improved over the 7g's design (frees up a lot of room in the engine bay and should make it easier for modifications)
- fairly conservative design so it ages well and doesn't look ugly too quickly
dx/lx/se models
- non vtec sohc maybe bumped up to 1.8 liters for more torque and hp (especially since the Fit will most likely get a 1.5-1.6 liter engine)
ex models
- this maybe where honda offers a fairly higher hp engine...it might offer the k20a2 (7g civic si) ~ 150-160hp
si model
- hb or coupe (lighter) maybe with higher tuned k20a2 or detuned k20a3 making ~ 180hp
crx?
- likely won't happen with Fit coming next year
