Not as nice as the departing sedan. I guess it'll be a hatchback for me.

@EChid: I don't know why car-makers refuse to offer certain things that people would actually want. Brown diesel wagons? I can understand that. But other things seem to be straight up corporate laziness/aggressive beancounting. We can't offer this because it would cost money/require more work than just ignoring the consumers and all that.

  I would be interested to see what would happen if one manufacturer were to only offer a liftback format designed to look as much like a sedan as possible. Would sales be affected? Would people happily convert after having that "aww wow, that makes so much more sense" moment? Unfortunately, no one wants to take that risk (except Mazda with the original 6).

Tim Myers Can you tell me why in the world Mazda uses the ugliest colors on the MX5? I have a 2017 in Red and besides Black or White, the other colors are horrible for a sports car. I constantly hear this complaint. I wish someone would tell whoever makes theses decisions that they need a more sports car colors available. They’d probably sell a lot more of them. Just saying.

Mebgardner I owned 4 different Z cars beginning with a 1970 model. I could already row'em before buying the first one. They were light, fast, well powered, RWD, good suspenders, and I loved working on them myself when needed. Affordable and great styling, too. On the flip side, parts were expensive and mostly only available in a dealers parts dept. I could live with those same attributes today, but those days are gone long gone. Safety Regulations and Import Regulations, while good things, will not allow for these car attributes at the price point I bought them at.I think I will go shop a GT-R.
Lou_BC Honda plans on investing 15 billion CAD. It appears that the Ontario government and Federal government will provide tax breaks and infrastructure upgrades to the tune of 5 billion CAD. This will cover all manufacturing including a battery plant. Honda feels they'll save 20% on production costs having it all localized and in house.As @ Analoggrotto pointed out, another brilliant TTAC press release.
