I think they are still a good year or two away from being introduced in the US. Remember that Europe always gets the new models at least a year before the US. And all the pics that I'm seen make the new models to look more like the new Civic SI that's out now. Definitely not very attractive.

The one problem with the 6 spd and the 1.8T is that the gearing is too short. By the time you build sufficient boost, you have to shift again which hurts acceleration. Taller gearing would allow for more time to stay on boost.
