will honda's usa "marketing" dept learn this lesson?
from:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070704/...tG1k8AcAms0NUE
we learn that:
"Honda said it sold 140,935 vehicles in June, up from 126,449 during the
same month last year. Sales were led by the Civic and Fit small cars and
the CR-V small sport utility vehicle."
are you listening honda usa "marketing" department? are you going to
pay attention this time? because your track record needs a little help.
you didn't want to know about the crv. you didn't want to know about
the fit [jazz]. and you have done everything you can to kill the
civic's backbone, the civic hatchback. anyone would think y'all were
getting backhanders from detroit or something. well, you're not are you?

I wish they would bring back the Prelude.
Update it with LED turnsignals and taillights.
Right now,Honda/Acura does not make anything I would buy.
I'd buy an old 00-01 Prelude before I'd buy any new Honda/Acura.

I'm pretty sure they decided to aim the Accord coupe V6/manual
transmission at that market.
After all, the 'lude was built on the Accord chassis.

I have a Supra (88) and a Scion tC (05)
The seating position in the Civic Si is the same as the Supra.
The seating position in the Scion is the same as Outback Steakhouse.
Wish I had bought the Civic...

in which case, why not just sell a prelude? nobody buys an accord if
they want something that is a little more fun. just like the crx was a

in which case, why not just sell a prelude? nobody buys an accord if
they want something that is a little more fun. just like the crx was a
no-brainer body transplant from the civic, so should be the prelude.

Ah, but you forget: the beancounters were in charge during that time.
It is cheaper to make the Accord than a model with different sheet metal
and interior.
They may yet bring back the 'lude, now that the engineers seem to be
