Leaked Honda marketing materials seem to show when the Honda Civic hatchback and hopped-up Si trim will go on sale.

The docs don’t confirm specs, though we already know the hatch will offer a manual transmission. But we now know the hatchback hits stores in September and the performance-tuned Si is slated to follow by a month with an October launch.

Yes, Si intenders, you can wake up when September ends.

As we noted before, hatchback specs will be unveiled tonight (though we don’t know if that includes Si, nor do we know what body styles the Si will be offered in) and the hatchback will be built in America for the first time, in Indiana.

The leaked docs also show that Honda plans a big marketing push for Civic over the latter half of the summer.

Honda Civic summer, indeed.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    I'll try to keep an open mind about the new Si with a manual transmission. But no promises about buying one - yet.

    "Honda Civic summer, indeed." I'd prefer a Hot Girl Summer.

    I'm just here for the Hoosier dad jokes.

    I didn’t give the previous gen civic a second look but I’m borderline irrational about this one…bravo Honda.
