you are correct about your first 2 sentences to a certain extent. some people grew up with the older civics and have more knowledge about them, so they tend to stick to them knowing that they how to work on them as opposed to newer cars with more technological advances, which may turn the OG's of tuning away from them fearing that they cant do a lot to the newer cars.

the family/gas saver crowd is something you have to really consider in the market and how the economy is. you have to consider the fact that the baby boomer generation is getting older and want something more practical, saves gas, good safety ratings, and reliable. and which auto maker is at the top of that list? especially the reliability? honda. also the space available in the fa1 is more practical than the coupe in terms of family wise. my ex used to have a 2000 civic sedan and she upgraded to an fa1 and its more practical for her to transport things because there is more space

i read on 8th that they were going to push it to 2012. they were also stating that the 9th gen is supposed to be a little bit bigger than the current gen.


you are correct, the ep3 was a mistake on honda's part, because thats when they debuted the es1 chassis hybrid. you have to remember at this point, a lot of automakers were debuting the hybrid models. they sacrificed performance for a more economically friendly si. but they learned from there mistake and have graced us with the z3.

they're heavier because automakers are pushing for the best safety ratings in the market.

i wouldnt say that. for tracks and what not, they're very well handling cars off the floor. but if you're going straight line, you can have something faster for less money.

for the money you spend on that evo, you can have a civic that will blow the doors off your evo. and dont say any turbo civic, because im sure bisi's single cam turbo will toss your sh*t.

This is actually very true.
