Why does Honda keep making hybrids every once in a while when

To meet fleet mileage up across the brand to meet some dumb law. It's the same reason why Aston Martin sells a rebranded Toyota IQ

Wtf?

shit flinging until something sticks

honda should stop selling everything besides the civic, a 21st century crx, crv, s2000 replacement, and fits. anything else should be acuras. honda keeps failing at trying to copy toyota when they should just be honda instead. a civic hybrid would eat prius sales instead of trying to copy the prius. no ones buying hyundai ioniqs

acura

hell if you take the civic lop off a quarter of the car mend a hatch with it and only make it 2 doors thats your modern crx

>>17777229
They've been selling a Civic Hybrid for like 15 years

>>17778147
Civic Hybrid was discontinued. Not enough sales to warrant it.

Lol

Civic hybrid failed because it looked too normal. Hybrid drivers want everyone else to know they drive a hybrid so they can virtue signal while getting the same mileage as a similarly sized gas car, which is why the Prius looks like a failed abortion

8th and 9th gen civics look too much like a hand held hoover

They set the bar too high.

>>17778179
which is what traditional honda would do. now theyve given up trying and rely on brand to sell

>>17778187
Instead of making good cars? Because their cars are very good now days

>>17778206
The 2015 CR-V I rented earlier this year was absolute garbage. The visibility was awful and the gear shifter felt like a cheap video game controller.

I've been saying this for years. Hybrids need to STAND OUT. Doesn't matter if it's ugly as sin, just so long as people can tell from a glance at 100 yards that you're saving the earth with every mile driven.

>>17778214
So every modern car ever? What's a good car in your opinion? A '94 EG hatch with a few simple mods?

>>17778206
theyre missing the tightness of cars of yesteryear

>>17778231
Old cars are "loose" as fuck

>>17778229
>every modern car
As a classic car enthusiast, this is the information my heart wants me to parrot. I know it is not true, however.

>>17778234
yeah because theyre old and the majority of their owners never maintained them besides changing fluids or tires maybe if you werent underage youd have the experience and memory to recall that asian cars from the 90s have far superior build quality than the flimsy feeling engineered to a price point theyre putting out now

>>17778244
Bitch I drove Asian cars from the 90s, even well maintained ones. Doesn't change the fact that they're old and everything gets fatigued after decades

If you want to see a poorly made car go look at the 8th gen Civic, damn thing is a total turd with its fit and finish, even when it was new. But then compare it to the 10th gen and it's a quantum leap and is put together better than cars like the CLA and even the C class

But you idiots would just call it ugly and keep jerking off to your 90s shitboxes

Then replace the failing parts.

>>17778253
you have no memory or experience having never driven a brand new 90s toyota or honda out of the showroom. driving a 15yo car even if it looks mint will never drive like when it was brand new unless everything in the suspension was restored which for mainstream consumer cars never happens

>>17778267
Yeah man just change out all the bushings, just $50 and an afternoon

>>17778275
Get a job and pay a professional to fix your car, you neanderthal.

>>17778272
Neither have you

>b-but they were better put together, honestly!
So why has the average age of cars on the road only increased?

Cars from 2007 are holding up a lot better in 2017 than cars from 1997 were holding up in 2007

>>17778283
Or you can just buy a good car instead of driving around in a 30 year old Toyota shitbox. You don't even need to buy new, a 5 year old Accord is a great purchase at a fraction of it's new price and much better than any Accord from the 90s

>>17778286
Why would I drive something I don't like when I have enough money to drive something I do like? Have you never had a steady income before?

>>17778292
>I like 90s shitboxes
>No honestly guise, I can totes afford something better but I'd rather drive this!

>>17778284
ill conclude theres no more to this discussion as youre letting you schizophrenia do the speaking now

Switch HRV and CRV if you're going for bigger cars in acura
