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.
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.
