When will Honda introduce an auto 'box for its diesels?

I am interested in buying a Honda HR-V after reading your review. But am very disappointed to find out that it does not offer a diesel with the automatic gearbox, only petrol versions. In fact, the Civic doesn't have an auto diesel either. Do you know when Honda will put an automatic box in this model?

They won't. But you don't need one anyway. The 1.8iVTEC five-speed auto in the Civic is very good. Better than the 1.5iVTEC and CVT-7 in the HRV.
