Boo Hoo - Nobody Likes The 'new' Civic - Here's The Reason Why !!!
Quote:
[*]The 'new' CiViC is a porker. It isn't even considered a sub-compact any more. This is so Honda could build 'trucks' on the CiViC chassis. [*] It signaled a shift away from performance by Honda, back to utility.[/list=1] Here's some other cars built on the 'new' CiViC chassis: Stream: The new Stream 7-passenger minivan is developed based on the same "Global Compact Platform" used in Civic models. It is powered by the new 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine or the 1.7-liter SOHC VTEC engine. Step WGN: With a full-model change in April 2001 in Japan, the 8-seater Step WGN minivan features a powerful but economical new-generation i-series 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine. Model X: The Model X concept vehicle is developed and designed by Honda R&D Americas operation. It was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2001. The Model X is powered by Honda's new i-VTEC, 4-cylinder engine. True, the Acura RSX is built of the 'new' CiViC chassis, but so was the 'Teg that it replaced. The REAL shocker for most ppl --- the thing that puts it all in perspective --- is the fact that they are building mini-vans and even step-side vans on the same chassis. "The Stream is the second model to employ Honda's all-new 'Global Compact Platform' and is the first to be powered by its new high efficiency i-VTEC engine." Quote:
