    This is what I think when I think Civic hatch, and this is roughly what should be built. http://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2010/11/27/13/08/1996_honda_civic_2_dr_cx_hatchback-pic-3690038126615987312.jpeg Honda has jumped the shark with this generation of Civic, IMO. Sales will putter for a while because of lemming buys but I wouldn't expect much new growth.

      Ricer mods not withstanding this is a correct Civic hatchback. When Honda makes a 3 door, turbo Si my wife will revisit the showroom. Actually strike that given "ant"'s comments above. When Honda gives us buttons back then we might visit the showroom. This touchscreen all the time non-sense needs to stop. Cool to see Honda trying to get their racing cred back with Rally Cross.

    I recall when Focus ST came out with the twin exhaust and Honda fanboys like CJ said that was a crap idea as you couldn`t fit a bike rack. Well now Honda is doing that. Where is CJ by the way, his ban has expired.

      He was actually permabanned, reportedly not just because of the comments but because of e-mails exchanged afterwards.
