Why Honda doesn't continue the HX line?
Seems like every few years Honda will produce Civic HX, and then drop
it almost as immediately as they roll them out.
Why? I love the CVT transmission and the fuel efficient VTEC they
have. What gives? Are they not selling?

i dont think the dealers are making any effort to sell them. for one I
know they don't come with A/C which is a big problem (at least here
in the south). I looked for one a few months ago and the best price I
could find was equal to one of the lx versions or one of the special
editions.... which made it not worth messing with.
I'm guessing there is not much profit to be made on those so the
dealers are not to motiviated to sell them.

good question! dealers are all about selling the expensive stuff.
stuff that's cheaper and reliable isn't favorite. i ask the same
question about hatchbacks.

Again, Jim knows it all.

hatchbacks?

Why would they sell the cheap stuff? Margins aren't as good. If you were a
dealer, you'd be doing the same thing. Make hay while the sun shines.
Tomorrow it might rain. Some of these dealers are run by people who
remember 1991.
> i ask the same

Hatchback sales dropped like a rock in the early '90s. They were decidedly
uncool then.
Recently they've enjoyed a resurgence, and manufacturers are producing them
again. Station wagons are coming back too.
