Why is Honda to blame for their marketing and pricing strategy? It is the American market (us!!!) that decides what sells and at what price!
Look at Chrysler for example and their total piece of **** PT Cruiser! The dealers sold them in the tens of thousands for many years with a mark-up of at least $3-5K.
As far as a $30K Honda Civic (2.0 engine) ---well it will sell just fine! There are lots of idiots who will slurge on this ugly and overpriced factory sedan...I know that I will not be one of them!!!!
I could not digest the idea of a collectible Civic!
