Official bash civics thread

I think its also the fact that the civic was meant to be an econobox grocery getter and not some sort of sports car like most muscle cars.

Sports Car?!?!? Most muscle cars are as subtle as a brick and sporty they are not. Miata is a Sports car, MGB, Fiat 124, Mazda RX7/RX8, these are sports cars. Anything made by the Big 3 since 1965 can't be considered a sports car.

Saleen S7, Ford GT, i think the Dodge Viper is considered a sports car..i think, but i'd say for the most part thats true, but in the Big Three defense there really wasnt a market for sport cars in the states for a very long time

I call the Viper a death trap. The ford GT is considered an "Exotic" same goes with the S7

I disagree. They quit making true muscle cars around the early to mid 70s. Nothing in the 80s or above is a muscle car. Later, QD.

I normally dont like you... lol but I FULLY agree on that ****... muscles cars nowadays that are being made arent ****. They dont deserve that title.

What the fucc does this have to do with anything? I don't give a fucc who you like or dislike and if I'm one for you to dislike (for no apparent reason), so what? My comment(s) had nothing to do with you so stick to the topic. Later, QD.

Wasn't a market? Are you kidding? Alfa Romeo, Triumph, MG, Porsche, Fiat, Lancia, and Early BMW's were gobbled up becuase there was a huge demand. As far as the cars you listed none are sports cars, they are all too big. Sports cars are meant to be small engined, light little cars that handle well. The Viper is nearly the worst handling car ever built. The Saleen S7 is MASSIVE, and the Ford GT is a bonafide Supercar. As for the arguement for a Vette, once the Big V8s got crammed in, the sporty was gone. Early 6 cylinder Vettes and early Thunderbirds are nice, but they stopped in the early 60's.

And when were those sold last in the US? That is what my point was, and the quote i had. My fathers Triumph Tr-6 was a great sports car, but there havent been any sold, or most of those other companies, in the US for 30+ years because there was no market here for them. Muscle cars puched them out, then the fuel crisis and EPA regulations ect..

rather than splitting hairs, why not look at the point trying to be made. the point being that most muscle cars were designed to have a high horsepower and tq output and to be fast. that was not the intention for the civic. and to say that no big 3 cars since 65 are sports car is just a silly notion.
