I always question these kind of stats. For example how do they know a male or female bought the car. MomHawk and I own 4 cars and they are all purchased by both of us. We rotate who is listed first on the title because in Georgia they use the person listed first to determine when the tags renew (which used to be a bigger deal when there was a property tax every year).

Eh, I think a lot of the young people today need to prioritize their money differently. Many of them are capable of affording a base compact car, but everybody wants a G wagon.

Yea, when I was driving around in my 20 year old $300 dollar beaters I would have been over the top for a base level new car like a Spark. Heck, all speced out it's a $17K car you can probably get for $15K.

It's still a lot of money but there are a lot of great used cars available for less money than the Spark.

You know what is accurate though, the women buying SUVs and the compensators buying trucks.

That may be local. Half the women I work with drive trucks, but I am in Georgia. I work with one lady that drives an F250 duelly because she pulls a horse trailer on the weekends. It always garners a second look as she gets her petite 5'0" self in and out of it.

Lol.

Does it come with one of these? Or is she a gymnast?

Would probably need one if she didn't have dual-step retractable running boards on it.

But, where there's a will there's a way...

This civic won't be popular with young buyers imo, which is arguably one of the more important market segments. Young people will buy even more Kia/Hyundai at this rate.

I think they are stealing some lines from German cars, which is why I said the Accord is somewhat Mercedes’ish, and the Civic looks a little Jetta’ish, so maybe they are going for something more mature to match the more Scandinavian/simple interior.

To me it really just looks average and boring, and that's fine. Like I've said before, the Si/type r trims have a chance to redeem it somewhat in my eyes. It just sucks that the lower end sport trims won't be sporty in anyway besides a badge.

The Accord, idunno, it's honestly one of the best looking sedans on the market right now until you start breaching extreme prices. I can see what you mean about Mercedes'ish, but most Mercedes are ugly until AMG gets slapped on, the CLA and A-class are great examples of this.

I understand the lower trim stuff. VW has been notorious for making their base trims look bland, and they like to save the nice headlights for top trims. At least Japanese cars have more standard equipment.

Base vs GLI vs Civic vs Accord vs Mercedes Coupe for comparison

I actually vomit at the sight of a CLA, and VW as a brand is bland, besides the Arteon, the sweet sweet Arteon.

Civics are actually the same when it comes to their standard equipment on the sedan. On the hatchback, at least in Canada, it appears to be a little more confusing, but also higher base price.

All examples here though definitely sport the same kind of mature side profile, but I can't say it's that welcome on a Civic when the rest of the vehicle doesn't look as lux as the Accord it seemingly follows after.
