What, black folks can't drive a Civic?

Girlie Girl Shitbox. Man, you are just full of them aren't you. Why do you feel the need to completly diss the hell out of someones car? Does it make you feel better?

Personally, I like the new Civic. The coupe that is. I am not very fond of the styling of the sedan. However, I feel the coupe has a nice sporty look to it, and is actually a better car then the previous generations. The suspension makes for a better ride and allows much more room in the interior. Hell, I can fit in the back seat of a Honda Coupe comfartably finally.

Also, the fact that you say that a Civic used to be a performance oriented car is pretty much laughable. The Civic, with the exception of the Si and CTR, are far from performance oriented. Honda never said, "hmmm, kids are going to slap AEM's on these and be fast!". The purpose of the Civic has always been to be an economical compact family car, nothing more.

Of course, you can argue by countering about the Si, and the Type R. Well, since we do not get a CTR here, that is null and void. As far as the Si goes, Honda is doing what it always does. When it changes gens, it removes the Si for a year or two and brings it back. This is called smart marketing on Hondas part.

Face it, Honda is about marketing and selling lots of cars. It will sell FAR more cars by marketing them as economy cars then it will as sports coupes.

Oh, and personally, I find your treatment of other members appaling as a moderator. As for your comment about needing serious issues addressed, maybe you should take your own advice.

One last thing, do you drive an EX or Si? If it is an EX, then your car is nothing but a girlie girl shitbox also. Of course, that is using your own logic, not mine.

I see why you are getting bent out of shape here, but you are using your emotions vs using your logic, and eyes.
He just posted quoted demographics of who that car appeals to.
The civic itself is not a true performance car, but when compared to other cars in its class and up, up to 30k you'll see that the 5th and 6th generation civic are more than capable of outperforming many performance cars, namely due to its suspension design. By no means is it a fast car, nor is the Civic Si, but capable of being.

I have been to the track autox cars double the price have a hard time keeping up, why? I must be a good driver right? No.

The new Civic is not capable of this the way the prior were, it is a multi-platform vehicle plain and simple, with little or no abilty for any further modification to suspension or motor.

Also, you must know someone before pointing the finger, BDC's knowledge far surpasses 90% of the people found on these boards, he has had "EXPERIENCE" which is one of the most important things, and is a true asset.
