While all eyes will be on the new Honda Insight hybrid, Honda will also show off a refreshed Civic Hybrid at next month's Paris Motor Show . Cosmetic changes are minimal — tweaks to the lighting, fascias and wheels help clean up the design and are expected to transfer to conventionally powered Civics in Europe. On the mechanical front, Honda will also debut the i-DTEC automatic transmission designed exclusively for Honda vehicles using the firm's 2.2-liter i-DTEC diesel engine. We're looking forward to full specs and drive impressions since a diesel Honda is anticipated on these shores next year, presumably with this new autobox pushing the wheels. [ Carscoop ]

Remember when we had that Euro-spec Honda Civic i-CTDi ? What a magical time of diesel hooning and crazy-high fuel economy that was. Leave it to Honda to make us ache for their diesely-Civic even harder now that they've dressed up the Italian-market version with Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade-inspired goodies. The best Civic in the world that you can't buy in the US has donned an aggressive front clip, fancy 18" wheels, graphite accents and apparently some Honda factory motorcycle racer we don't know. Oh Honda, why do you torment us so!? galleryPost('firebladecivic', 3, 'A Honda We Would Be Caught Alive In'); [ Carscoop ]

We first met Metrompg when we did a story on Mr. Harry Stevinson way back in 2006. Since then we've been occasionally plucking bits and pieces of interesting fodder from them and their all grown up version Ecomodder . The incredible 73 miles per gallon we got out of the 2007 Honda Civic i-CTDi is almost an entry point for these guys. If you want to know how to mod your jalopy for ludicrous mileage, these are the places to go.
