Which makes it really funny when I see Honda bashing on here.
Not so sure that it is "Honda" bashing so much as "what people did to some of the poor Hondas" bashing. There is no denying that the Civic was/is not the only car to get the treatment since Neons, Cavaliers, Sunfires, (shit just about any small sporty looking car you can name) have also been riced to death but the Civic became the poster child a long time ago.
Not hard to figure out why since used ones are cheap, reliable and easy to find so make the perfect platform for young, creative artists with a limited budget.
No doubt at all that the 86 will suffer the same fate as used ones get cheaper and cheaper. The only thing that may save it a bit is that there are way fewer of them so perhaps more will go to track instead of purely cosmetic "race car" mods. I don't hold out much hope though.
