Honda updates European Civic range for 2009
The European versions of the three and five-door Honda Civic are being updated with refreshed styling and a more generous standard equipment list as part of the vehicle’s mid-cycle update. The 1.4L engine currently in the lineup will also be replaced with a new unit featuring Honda’s latest generation i-VTEC technology, which reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and increases power and torque.
The new engine also has improved noise, vibration and harshness levels, and is now available in both the three and five-door Type S models.
Manual versions of the latest Civic will gain a shift light indicator, which combined with the existing ‘Eco Driving’ light helps improve fuel economy. Diesel versions receive slightly revised gearing designed to help reduce CO2 emissions.
Changes to the Civic’s styling include a new grille, revised bumpers, and a new rear light cluster. Inside, the cars are available with an optional iPod connector and rear parking sensors. readmore

Isuzu plans U.S. truck comeback
Isuzu Motors Limited is planning to build a plant for mid-size trucks in Alabama, according to Nihon Keizai Simbun, a Japanese newspaper.
The Japanese truck maker recently purchased land for $7.8 million in Birmingham, which was previously occupied by a warehouse of Del Monte Foods, the story said.
The company expects to start operation of the new plant in 2010 with approximately 5000 units slated for initial annual production. There was no information about the specific models that will be produced at the new plant.
Isuzu once had a joint venture in Indiana with Fuji Heavy Industries, the maker of Subaru automobiles, but sold out to Fuji in 2003. It was also affiliated with General Motors, which ultimately sold its entire 7.9% stake in Isuzu.
Isuzu's current truck sales in the U.S. amount to about 27,000 units of a truck which is a version of GM's compact pickup.
