OK. I thought you were talking about all CivicX. My Si was built in Canada.

Are you talking about Swindon Canada or Swindon UK?

The Dodge Challenger & Ford Mustang are sold in Germany (Deutschland), Europe's largest market: Ford Mustang: https://www.ford.de/fahrzeuge/ford-mustang?vehicleNavCategory=pv Dodge Challenger (Scroll down a bit on this site to see the models): https://www.agtauto.com/de/dodge/challenger/ On...

I completely agree. Dropping the 2-Door, especially for the Si, is a big mistake. Many car companies make limited edition models that may not sell the most compared to their other models, but it attracts car buyers to their other models. History has proven this is a successful strategy. Look...

I think you mean *less* "sleek style".

Agreed. The entire 10th Gen Civics look a lot better, & even have a 2-Door version the 11th Gen won't have.

From a Honda e-mail today (11/18/2020):

"since when did the Civic have a hatchback model?" At least since 10th gen: https://automobiles.honda.com/civic-hatchback

I haven't read all of the posts in this post, but wouldn't it be very close to the "official" pics here: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/exclusive-11th-generation-civic-hatchback-fully-revealed-in-official-honda-patent-images.49714 I like the tail lights & front-end of the 10th gen Civic...

"The thing is, that is a big change, and Honda doesn't do that." There are many HP versions of the 1.5L used in the Civic/Civic Si & Accord. For some unknown reason, Honda uses a different clutch plate for most of them. It is completely stupid. They should have used the clutch plate from the...

EVs are the only thing that get the Headlines. No one ever talks about the huge advances in Gasoline technologies that are bigger advances than what is made in the EV sector. Liquid fuels like Gasoline & Diesel have a vastly higher Energy-Density than all other forms. We are able to make...

I understand your point on the 6%, & it is valid to a point, but the low percentage is more due to the COVID-19 shutdown & people only buying "neccessary" new vehicles. People that buy 2-Door cars, Sports Cars, etc. weren't out buying during this time. If you bought one, you could not drive it...

I love cloth seats. They don't get too hot nor too cold. I also love the honey-comb grill (they took part of that away in front with the fog lamps & made it a boring flat plastic part for the 2020 model). And, of course, Manual Transmission is a MUST! There are many things that need improvement...

New car sales don't have a virtual flatline for 19-20 years in a row when the population is increasing by 15+%. There is a reason for this & the only thing that has changed any significant amount is the lack of Manual Transmissions. While there is a lack of Manual Transmissions in the US, you...

First, the advantage of the Si & Type-R is to use many of the same parts the regular Civics use instead of just being a niche car. Second, just because car companies make them available does not mean people will buy them. Look at the Prius. It started selling in 2002 in the US. Peak hybrid...
