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!?
