My wishlist:

I am very interested in the newly announced Hybrid slotted under the Civic. I would really love to see it be like the Fit--a well designed 5 door with magic seats that enabled a large amount of cargo room for a small car. It would be cool if it used the same engine/IMA as the HCH, which should be fairly powerful for a car that sized. An updated version of the Insight engine/IMA would be cool too.

Serious bonus points for a manual transmission, LI-Ion batteries, and a plug in!

Commuter car, grocery getter, and summer road tripper--average 10k miles per year.


Winter road trips and ski trips, bad weather commuter and my wife's "daily" driver--expected average 4k miles per year.
