    It just still feels like something is missing,but maybe I am over thinking it. I mean, good value and reliability are indeed very valid points. I can only assume the answer to my question of why people go ape$hit over modded old CRXs and Civics is because owning those cars themselves means they know the mods better, and maybe they're seeing some rare piece I am overlooking. I appreciate your partaking in serious answers and not posting soemthing like "Whay do you have to hate on hondas? why would'nt welike them!?" because I was 100% serious in asking my question. REPS for you.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    I think it has a lot to do with history. There are very few brands that have a single line of cars that stretch back 30+ years. And the ones that do have extremely loyal fanbases (Corvette, Mustang, etc). A Civic owner can look back to 1972 and see where it all started.

    Furthermore, they provide a perfect balance of sport and security. For one they are a company entrenched in racing and race technology, yet they provide cars that are easy to drive and cheap to maintain.

    Finally, the entry point stretches from a $500 CRX to a $90,000 NSX. There is always something to look up to, but both of those cars use the same technology and have the same spirit and heritage.

    BTW I think the only other company that pulls this off is VW.
