Making its world debut in Paris next month, in addition to the already announced Insight Hybrid Concept, is the restyled Civic Hybrid and i-DTEC Automatic gearbox. For European market, the Civic Hybrid 4-door sedan has been given a restyle seen in the front and rear lights, a more aggressive bumper and a new design of alloy wheel. Also, Paris will see Honda's new automatic gearbox for the i-DTEC diesel engine. Increasing demand for automatic transmissions caused Honda to respond with this exclusively developed option by Honda and not a third party supplier for the 2.2 litre i-DTEC turbodiesel.

It looks like they tried to make it look as much as the 05-06 accord as possible, but I love the interior.
