    Default Civic coupes?

    Why is it that almost everyone on here has a civic hatch? The coupes look a lot better, and theres hardly anyone on here who has one...or atleast that i've seen...
    The EM1s and EM2s look awesome but i hardly ever...actually i cant think of any that ive ever seen on here...

    so what im gettin at is...why is there no love for the coupes?

    It truly varies. Most people want hatch's for how much they weight or lack of, others for personal preferences. I stay rep'n the coupes

    I dont know why nobody ever took on to EM2s. They have good body lines and are VERY good candidates for K swaps. Very rare to find a modded one that looks good though, usually riced out FTL.

    I only like RWD coupes, to me, hatchbacks (the boxy kind, not the FC Rx-7 or Supra or Porsche 944 etc. kind) seem more sports in FWD variants. think about it.

    The "hot hatches" have always been cool.
    Mazdaspeed 3, Volkswagen GTI, etc.

    The FDW sport coupes are nice, but all I can think about them is "shame they're FWD"

    3000GT, Celica, Scion tC, all cars that just needed RWD to succeed.

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

    Well yeah, I'm just saying my mentality has always been coupe = RWD, hatch = FWD, so maybe somehow, somewhere people feel the same way subconsciously and prefer for their little Honda to be a hatch. I don't know, I am a huge RWD fan and because of it I have a lacking of interest for Hondas so it's hard for me to voice my opinion on them either way. I prefer coupes over hatchbacks about 90% of the time in terms of what I'd want to drive, but if I ever bought a FWD car, it'd have to have that import hatchback "zippy" feel to it.

    Thats really my biggest problem with the mechanics of a honda to tell you the truth...id rock a prelude all day long if it were a RWD...actually...im gonna go out on a limb and say the prelude would be one of the best cars in its class ever made if it were RWD.
