We're probably on the 'same page' on this, but...

The Honda CiViC died, and was buried, in 2000!

From 2001-Present, the CiViC exists in name only. They're actually "Global Compact Platform" cars, so called. They share the same chassis with any number of other Honda compact cars/trucks and rely on the assumption that the American consumer is a chump!

Put another way - if you wanna drive a real Honda CiViC, you're gonna have to buy at least an 8-20 year-old one.

The fact that they're still available in large quantities speaks to the silliness of the notion that small cars are disposable, et cetera, et cetera!
