hmm, still interesting though. pretty strange that there would be such a drastic difference in the aesthetics of car models across continents. wonder what kind of focus groups they base it all on. makes little sense to me, designing so many differences into the same standard setup. of course, i never looked at the co.uk page for honda. i rather like the hidden door handles but i dont really care for the rear slope on the fourdoor. i dont know why the us didnt get the 3 door. i guess its a hatch like the 7thgen si right?


edit: you know with google and wikipedia i basically should never ask another question. ever. took like two seconds to find with the keywords "small euro sports car". damn. Donkervoort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Civic Hatches don't sell well in the states. The 02-05 Civic Si didn't sell well at all. They were practically giving them away. If they had sold well I'm sure they would have brought it over. Honda of America can bring over what they want.
