None of that matters. If you’re making a car that is clearly meant to sell based in some part on nostalgia, you have to make sure that it resonates with the people who are supposed to feel nostalgic about it.

The issue isn’t that it’s based on the Civic. The issue is that it is literally just the Civic.

I think there’s a reason that only one of these exists - and IMO it’s still six too many.
