Yes, and for a whole generation of kids Honda Civics have become the universal hotrod, not the Mustang or Camaro. Those are your daddy's car.

that's because civics were cheap, reliable and had a whole host of bolt-ons, and still got great gas mileage. the camaros for the last 20 years have been over priced and underpowered, and bolt-ons cost as much as a civic. GM has been screwing up big time in the sports car department.
dcx is doing it right, they have the full range of vehicles, and most of their line comes with an SRT- option which really is a sport option, not like GM where the sport "packages" are 90% cosmetic.
