Civic hybrid coming to India later this year

At the New Delhi Auto Show today, Honda announced it will begin selling a hybrid version of the Civic in India sometime later this year. According to Reuters, the head of Honda's India operations, M. Takedagawa, declared that, "We have decided to launch the Civic hybrid this year." That's about all the details we have as of now, but we do know that the standard Civic is not the most popular Honda in India today (that honor goes to the City). Also, I suppose this helps the do-they-or-don't-they discussion about Honda loving hybrids a bit in the "they do" direction.
