>yeah that car that we make that everyone loves?>we're gonna make one more and then let the model drown
>>29095861>>yeah that car that we make that everyone loves?If everyone supposedly loves sports coupes, why do "hatchbacks on stilts"—known as SUVs—sell in much larger numbers?
>>2909586199-01 was some grim times for Jap carsAt least they kept the S2000 going for a while but if you didn't want one of them, kinda shit out of luck
>>29095871because women are the target audience for new cars
>>29095876>today's women are 6ft, hairy, muscular, and possess a penischecks out
>>29095909women want a car with 4 doors that can just fit a ton of crap in itthey don't want a manual 2 door coupe that has no backseat and nowhere to put their stanley cup
>>29095861Why’d they put a lift-kit on it?
>>29095912>men want a car with 4 doors that can just fit a ton of crap in itftfy
>>29095912Maybe when ozempic gets wider distribution and gets rid of fat healthy at any size cunts there will be at least a switch back to sedans
>>29095924we aren't talking about 'guys who want a truck to do work and haul shit' retard
>>29095926nope. karens and tylers want SUVs because they're "safe" (they're bigger than other cars on the road) and that's it. cars will continue to get bigger because retarded wh*tes can't stop shidding and farding about how they need to "win" collisions with stationary objects
>>29095976>Shaqueshas and Tyrones want SUVsftfy, niggerfaggot
>>29095983nah they buy Altimas
Women account for over 70% of all personal economic activity. Nothing is marketed or made for men anymore.
>>29095861One of the biggest blunders ever.The RSX blew ass.
>>29095926Apparently zoomers have the same opinion about crossovers as millenials did about wagons and minivans, as in they are "the lame cars their parents drive", and they actually prefer sedans
>>29096015The golden era had to end at some point ...
>>29096026oml why are millenials killing the SUV Crossover industry!!
>>29096026As a millennial, all my friends either drive sedans or midsze pick-ups.
>>29096029>The golden era had to end at some point ...I guess so brother.A nice run.1985 to 1998
>>29096015>>29096029>>29096048I don't get why people dog on 2000s era Honda so much. Sure maybe they don't look as cool, but you still had the high revving VTEC engines. I'd totally fuck with a RSX type S.
>>29096059>Sure maybe they don't look as cool, but you still had the high revving VTEC engines. I'd totally fuck with a RSX type S.That's fair bro.You do you.It's one of those things that is difficult to describe.The magic was gone.Perhaps the old guard of Engineers and Designers retired or left.The second generation of Acura Legend is one of the finest cars that Honda has ever produced.It still looks good and keeps up with traffic today (the Type II at least)That's just gone brother.Same as the EG civics
>>29095912Wait women play in the NHL too? When the fuck did this happen?
You never bought them when they were new, so who cares?Crying over an imaginary market that doesn't exist, you aren't in the current market for anything either.
>>29096059Ditch dual wishbone. Built quality went down.>>29096071Sidney Crosby.
>>29096059nostalgia tards. no different than boomers being nostalgic about their shit from the 60s. as millennials grow old and die off no one will give a shit about front wheel drive slop of the 90s, which is all honda was.
>>29096074First post in thread but I bought a manual Integra (RSX) brand-new over 20 years ago.If they don't sell cars worth buying at a reasonable price, no one will buy them.The people saying "it's market forces" are the ones most-jewed. Was the 2012 CAFE law considering crossovers "light trucks" (thus circumventing CAFE restrictions) purely a free market demand switch to larger vehicles? No.
>>29096122america has preferred large vehicles long before cafe. do you know how much bigger cars were in the 50s before the fuel crisis started forcing everyone to downsize?if anything, the front wheel drive slop market that allowed honda to flourish was the result of artificial market restrictions.

>>29096128
>>29096127>if anything, the front wheel drive slop market that allowed honda to flourish was the result of artificial market restrictions.Or, it was the result of the oil crisis and Americans not being able to build fuel efficient cars for shit
>>29096133and now that the oil crisis restriction is no longer a thing, people aren't forced to settle for front wheel drive slop, and they don't. they were buying big cars before cafe and they will buy them now regardless, just like every other country that has the option to. no such cafe restrictions exist in the middle east, by the way.
>>29096127>america has preferred large vehicles long before cafe.IDK man. Going from 60% market share to 20% in a decade after a law passed fining sedans and coupes thousands of dollars each when there were no restrictions beforehand?Doesn't seem free market to me.
>>29096139>People don't buy your front wheel drive slop which is still tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than any SUV because of a supposed fine that makes them a thousand dollars more expensive>SUVs begin becoming popular in the 80s which honda peaked making their front wheel drive slopSounds like someone invented a more popular vehicle platform and the free market voted for it. how do you explain the rest of the world gravitating towards EVs. did american regulations force them to not buy the front wheel drive slop, too?
>>29096151>gravitating towards EVsgravitating towards SUVs*also, notice how truck market share virtually stays the same in your image despite all the redditors saying trucks wouldn't exist without cafe. cafe affected their sales exactly zero, and everyone buying SUVs, were the same people who bought mini vans and wagons previously. it's almost like they like one platform better.
>>29096151>SUVs magically appeared and it had nothing to do with thousands of dollars in fees tacked on to every coupe and sedan.
>>29096157It’s almost like they could sell lifted wagons for higher profit margins than coupes, sedans, and wagons because of government intervention!
>>29096160currect. how much cheaper was the front wheel drive slop hondas in the 80s and 90s compared to a ford explorer again? and people still chose the ford explorer? sounds like people didn't want your front wheel drive slop honda and it only became popular itself due to market restrictions.
>>29096166larger vehicles had higher profit margins even before cafe. you know what government restrictions kept people from buying the large cars they wanted previously? an oil crisis. you should thank the government for making honda popular in the first place.
>>29095861Turns out companies are the people and leadership, not the nameplate above the door.
>>29096059i think the dc5 integra looks retarded even though the engine is fantasticexactly the same as the celica
Lancer evo
>>29095992Nah, they get a note, because chimp life.
>>29095874The Silvia, GT-R, Supra, and RX7 all ended production in August 2002.
>>29096139can you overlay that with female automobile purchases over time
The current auotomotive landscape is bleak.
>>29095861Rather that then see the name ruined and become a laughing stock
>>29097182it always was a laughing stock.>FWD pretending to be a sports car LOL
>>29097176All those cars suck THOUGH
>>29095876Your not kidding, oversized SUV "tanks" that are almost military suv size.Cause every foid needs a military sized truck to get a frapachapino mochalatte and pick up her cats from the cat sitter.
>>29096044NTA and as a millennial too I own two coupes and all my friends own sedans with a few hatchbacks here and there.
