Honda Civic 2 door Coupe is Dead
 
I know it's not really a direct competitor to the 370Z, but I still feel it is important to mention and discuss here. What I thought was the biggest selling, most popular, most mainstream and most affordable 2 door 'sporty' coupe is dead.

It's not a sports car, but I mean if even Honda can't make a business case for a 2 door Coupe, do you think this is an indicator of what could be fall our segment next?

Although upsetting, it really isn't surprising. Cars are going away (for now) and being replaced with SUVs. I predict this will continue until the next gas crunch.

This is an indicator.

Much of the generation who are in or will be in the car market grew up in mini vans and SUVs. Less attracted to cars with 2 doors. I suspect the void will be filled by Korean mfrs. Volkswagen is big enough to keep their 2 door cars alive.....for now.

No cares given, Honduh Civic 2 door isn't a sports car.

LOL, I am sure some of the people who buy the Si trim level think that they are actually getting a sports car. :driving:

For the money the car has decent performance and economy. What is not to like. I enjoy the style of the car and the reviews appear to show a good driving machine. Better that than a box or truck/SUV. Never been a fan. Love cars.

SUV/Truck/Jeep never impress me. Sure for work or real off road but not for daily drive. Too big, block vision of others and wasteful. I read in a US publication that most SUV's carry 1 person, a child and 1/2 ounce of nutmeg on most days LOL- Waste.

I dont see how having something so large to manage, all that mass, is fun at all. Parking locations are not all super big either. Weak brakes to cover the mass involved etc. Unsafe to me.

Although I'm a car enthusiast, my family car and every day driver is an SUV. Our family car is an AWD Murano SL. In the winter snow plowing can be questionable at best and the AWD comes in handy as well as the ride height. Although the stock brakes were sufficient, I upgraded the pads anyway. I don't understand why anyone would consider them to be unsafe though. In the heavy rain or snow I would much rather be in our Murano or CX-7 over our Civic sedan or the Z any day of the week. Beyond that, I didn't purchase any of them to have fun. I have the Z for that.

Where I live at. If you have 2 vehicles. One has to be a 4x4. Getting the roads plowed in the winter may never happen. I have both a 4x4 Grand Cherokee, and a 4x4 Power Wagon.

Speaking of excess, I still see a Hummer once in a while. With just a driver and all his backrest monitors running. I'd rather see a 2dr civic than that kind of foolishness.

A distinct need. I like small Subaru wagon's and small Quattro Audi.

I like a combination of good traction with ability to maneuver out of issues. Nimble. I like low CG as well.
