I think the Jazz will get a 1.0T earthdreams engine( vs the fiesta ecoboost 1.0T) and Maybe the hrv might have a Type R version with a detuned 1.5T
Im betting on the Elantra Sport 1.6T with 200hp and 6.2sec 0-60mph
Pure guesstimation

I read from PaulTan.org that Honda will be introducing a 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo engine for its Euro Civic. This small turbo engine will eventually replace the current 1.8L engines (R18) used in Civic models. As per the output figures, it may offer 10% less power than the R18 but offers 15% more torque.

The good thing about turbo engines is that with a good ECU remap, you can easily increase power & torque output. Some ECU remap can easily upgrade the Ford 1.0T engine output to 150hp/200Nm. I guess the Honda 1.5L turbo can do around 200+ hp or even better.
I hope it has paddle shifters. If so bye bye jazz......

The 1.5L turbo CVT model seems reasonable for a price of 1.3M as the TOTL Focus Ecoboost Plus models and the Mazda3 2.0 are priced about the same. However, the lower trim 1.8L model seems pricey for a price of 1.1M as you can get the new TOTL Elantra 2.0L or the lower trim Focus Ecoboost for just above 1M.
As per reviews from the US, the 2016 Civic does not come with paddle shifters. Even the 1.5L turbo model does not have them. Unless Honda comes up with a model refresh and equip all models (1.8L, 2.0L, 1.5L turbo) with paddle shifters.
I don't know why Europe gets to have all such nice models. Below is the Civic hatchback for Europe:

it is 2.0 NA and 1.5 T.
2.0LX, which is the base model priced * $16k and 1.5 EX-T Touring, the TOTL priced *$26k.
So tama lang siguro, since plus tax pa naman... baka hindi na rin nila i-offer ang base model at straight up sa TOTL ng 2.0 NA na ang ilalabas nila.
Mazda 3, kabahan ka na.. haha
I checked out the 2.0L Elantra, it's really bare. Ordinary integrated audio, manual a/c, no turn lights on the door mirror, 16" mags.
The 1.6 Limited has more features.
The lower trim Focus is nice but I don't see much on the roads. Only negative on the Focus is the cramped interior and resale value.
As for the paddle shifters, I'm betting the local turbo will have this. Our specification is very different from US spec.
Yep, most likely the same R18 VTEC engine on the Civic FD and FB. Mayrun na ba local Earth Dreams version ng R18? Sana yun na lang ilagay nila. The new local base Accord already has the Earth Dreams K24 engine.
It is a good approach by Honda as there were recalls already on the base 2.0L models of the new Civic in the US. The base trim Civic is sporting an updated version of the R20 engine (used to power the previous gen TOTL 2.0L model) but there have been a couple of issues reported about the engine catching fire.
I don't see our local models to be sporting paddle shifters unless Honda plans to roll out a global refreshed model with paddle shifters for the 1.5L turbo model.
