Thank all the people who buy SUVs and crossovers.

Thanks to them the cars grew taller so that the SUV bumpers won't slap your head off the shoulders.
Second reason is pedestrian comfort on your hood.

Develop a material+construction that is thin as fuck, absorbs tons of kinetic energy and fit your car with a working pedestrian pillow - Voilà, you got yourself a modern and thin as fuck shitbox again.

You can find an unmolested Civic, but not the good engine version.

You guys need to be willing to chase these increasingly rare cars. I went into West by-god Virginia to get my fox and literally every day I watch it's value go up.

>>15673160
How much are you going to wait until it's worth before you sell/trade it? I'm holding out for an LS1.

>>15673181
I would, but I live in California and I'm pretty sure California is a fucking bitch to bring new cars into. Gotta keep it (relatively) local.

>>15673187
Ew yeah. I've basically been taking advantage of the fact I live in a non-emissions county in Eastern Ohio while WVa and Pa are both emissions state-wide. The vin check on my Ram told me it had sat for years although it did have current stickers on the windshield I can smell the fuel in the exhaust so I dunno what that's about. The Capri is old enough to be emissions exempt though. How long until those Civic hatches are? Probably exactly long enough for them to be ridiculously expensive I'm guessing.

>>15673140
I kind of want to correct myself, because D-series is an outstanding engine, just not for racing. There is even a 130 hp VTEC version, that one doesn't feel anemic and can still work on the same trash gasoline.

Not in the UK - they're generally driven at no more than 30mph by old people.

>>15673007
Look up K Insights

>>15673669
the fit is like the size of a Mazda 5

the new civic doesn't even weigh 3000 lbs, and has twice the power of the old civics, and is safer, and drives much, much nicer

It already did in '07. It's called the Honda Fit.

Thing is even in 2016 it's entirely possible to make a small, light efficient NA car just like the original civic.
Honda simply chooses not to.

I assume that man is being blown away by the sheer nuisance of maintaining two aging CRX's.

What's a base model 5.0 capri go for these days? I know the mustangs have skyrocketed the last few years.

Is this where we change the standard /o/ answer to "Buy a Fit and shut the fuck up"?

Pretty mad about this desu
Why did they make the newest gen larger than the accord from just a few gens ago?
Its like 3000lb now

>>15676718
I got it for $1500 after stalking it for half a year waiting for the guys list price to go from $3500 to $2500, riding 200 miles with my freaking mom, nitpicking it and playing hard ball. The funny thing is that if I'd have had a dolly and someone who I could trust to drive the fox I could have had a parts car to go along with it. I just didn't know. I feel pretty confident I could get twice what I paid for it though in a larger market.

supercharged fit...I bet that thing rips. I kinda like it

>>15678584
It's the shape I love the most. I realise the EP3 is just as good but I'm just not fond on how it looks.

>>15673098
There was a really clean ef shell for 500 near me recently.

>>15676869
My 1998 civic weighs 2600 pounds and has 135 horse power, and that's the vtec engine. The base model has a 100 ish horse power engine. Civics were never fast and 2600 pounds isn't exactly heavy.

Keep your 20 year old base hatches folks, because in the coming decades they will be sought after.

>>15678742
>Just as good
No, it was much more heavier. Engine wise it had a whoping 1hp more then the ep3 , also it had worse suspension then the ep3. I agree though it looks awesome.
