DEMOGRAPHIC: Sedan: mid-30s [e.g. middle-aged - bdc], 60% married [e.g. white, female - bdc], 50% college graduates, average household income, $50,000 [e.g. yuppie - bdc]; Coupe: Under 30, similar education and income background as sedan buyers [e.g. yuppie - bdc], 40% married, 55% female.

WHAT'S NEW: Honda’s wildly successful compact has been completely redesigned [i.e. dead and buried - bdc] for 2001... The three-door hatchback [performance / youth offering - bdc] has been dropped, and the sedan and coupe are separated by more individual styling [i.e. dull and duller - bdc]... The new Civic is meant to be more family friendly... The increase in interior space [and exterior size and overall weight - bdc] has led the EPA to change the Civic’s classification from subcompact to compact [OINK, OINK!!! - bdc].

WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO WOMEN: The new, larger interior makes it a practical choice for buyers with growing families. By retaining similar exterior dimensions, however, the Civic will still appeal to buyers who prefer a smaller, more nimble car. Meanwhile, the Civic’s traditional values -- long-term reliability and high resale values -- are very important to [single - bdc] female drivers. A ULEV rating accross the board makes the Civic the most environmentally friendly car on the American market, a reputation enhanced by the fuel-efficient HX and the CNG-powered GX.
There is no doubt that the 'new' CiViC was taylor-made for white, middle-aged, female, suburbanite yuppies. I will be glad to give you 3 more pages of 'cut-n-paste' documentation, if you would like .

The only concession I will make to you, Mr. D., is that married, middle-aged, white, female yuppies prefer the sedan, while 20-something, single, white, female yuppies like the coupe.

IMO, any guy that buys one of these 'girlie' cars has serious personal issues that need to be addressed.
