The following article indicates that Honda will manufacture the HR-V in its Indonesian plant with 1.5l and 1.8l engines.

This odes well for the availability of the 1.8l engine in North America as well. This might be the same engine that powers the Civic producing 143 hp. I am not sure if the 1.5l and the 1.8l use the same technology. The 1.5l produces 130 hp, while the 1.8l, with 20% more displacement, produces only 143 hp.
Isn't it odd that Honda is willing to announce the engines available next year in Indonesia, while they say nothing about the engines available this winter in North America?
