Honda Civic IMA

I have an Integra at the moment. Since I have got family growth and I no longer like the shape of the current Civic 3 & 5 doorr, I would have been interested in this Civic IMA. Its shape is ok, but the price is not exactly a feast for the eyes. Is it really already matured for the series, or would a Diesl ́er be even better, in terms of performance/consumption? Has anyone bought this car yet??
