Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 2007Civic Hybrid Coupe?
Does anybody know if Honda will be offering a Civic Hybrid Coupe in America in the near future? I am looking for car a bit shorter than the Civic Sedan. \Samson > Does anybody know if Honda will be offering a Civic Hybrid Coupe in > America in the near future?

That's all a matter of perspective, isn't it? ;-) >> Does anybody know if Honda will be offering a Civic Hybrid Coupe in >> America in the near future?

I was making the wrong comparison. I made a chart but misread it or something when I was thinking about the difference between the new Civic Coupe or Sedan. I am considering from a bunch of different small cars for something to replace my 91 Accord 4dr. I'd like a car short enough to allow me to squeeze a motorcycle 250-500 cc motorcycle in front of the car. With my 91 Accord which is 183.5" I have about 8" in back and 12" in front of the car, so about 20" of space. The Civic Coupe is 174.8" The Civic Sedan is 176.7" The Fit is 157.4" The Yaris is 150.6" The Scion XA is 154" The Matrix is 171.3" and yes, 1.9" might be meaningful in my life.

I took a look at Scions recently. They do seem to be a damned fine car, but not as inexpensive as they seem on the surface. Once you add in all of the features that come standard in many of the other lines (Civic, for instance), you end up with a vehicle that costs just as much, or more. Of the 3, I personally like the Xa best. To my eye, the Xb is just plain ugly. The Tc is nice, but the Xa wins it for me... > I took a look at Scions recently.

The point is, you can't buy the Civics without all that stuff. With Scion, it's almost a coachbuilding experience--start bare, and make it YOURS. Sure, if you let the competition define what "should" be on a car....which is silly. >> I took a look at Scions recently.

Decent wheels. Good stereo. Basically, everything that came on my 06 Civic Si are things that I would have paid extra for in options. I wouldn't settle for a car without them. So, to me, a Scion isn't that great of a deal. It is a fine starter car, though, for someone buying their first new car. Young 20's, not a lot of cash. Being a Toyota product gives confidence that it will be reliable, and you can get it dirt cheap, with no options... > Does anybody know if Honda will be offering a Civic Hybrid Coupe in > America in the near future?

A Civic Coupe would be 4.5 seats.

That's handy if you're an ax-murderer.  SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ >> Also, the Insight was a 2-seater.

They call it 5 seats, but the middle seat in the back is barely wide enough for an ethiopian. ;-) |
