Our spies have just captured these photos of a Euro Civic test mule, showing that <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/honda\">Honda<\/a> is making good progress with updating its best-selling compact in other markets.<\/p>\n<p>Our spies indicate that the new front bumper is already in place under the camouflage on this jimmied-up Civic, giving it a larger stance, though the wheelbase looks about the same as the current car, meaning the overall size probably won&#8217;t change too much. Out back, slightly wider rear fenders mimic the larger proportions up front. As for what&#8217;s under the hood, we assume that the standard range of both gas and diesel engines four-cylinder engines will be offered in Europe, and the hybrid setup from the CR-Z hatch could possibly find a home in the redesigned Civic, as well.<\/p>\n<p>No word has been given as to when the new Euro Civic will make its debut, but we&#8217;re willing to bet that the Honda hatch will hit the streets before the <a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/18\/honda-cites-tougher-fuel-economy-standards-for-delay-in-launch-o\/\">delayed American model debuts<\/a>.
