The Earth Dreams technology serves as evidence that the Japanese automaker is definitely moving in the right direction in regards to reaching this goal. This new technology will be unleashed in the new 2012 Honda Civic later in the year. The Civic will be equipped with a 1.6-liter i-DTEC, which is a small diesel engine.  For its size, the engine is lighter than all other diesel engines and the engine offers top-notch fuel economy relative to performance. Some specifics include a maximum power output of 120 PS, CO2 emissions of 95g/km and 3000Nm of torque. President and CEO of Honda Motor Co., LTD Takanobu Ito announced the new technology at the Tokyo Motor Show.
