According to Automedia, Honda is set to release the 2007 Civic 3-door hatchback, a car to hold close to the Type-R Civic hatchback previewed back in February. Some prototypes that mimic the Type-R have been spotted near the Nürburgring in Germany. The base model to be produced for the masses is set to make its debut in July, however, it's not known for certain if it will be offered in the United States.

Both the hatch and sedan will share the same powertrain setup, a 200 horsepower 2.0 liter DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder. 0 to 60 mph times are estimated to be around 6.5 seconds. Here is a related article, on the 2008 model.
