I think it's more that their parents buy them the Civic because they can't afford the insurance on the Mustang.
I'm no Civic fan by any means, but the Civic has several other advantages over the Mustang (from the typical buyer's point of view).
1. Cheaper insurance.
2. Far better fuel economy.
3. Bolt-ons are cheap.
4. OEM-installed parts not likely to fall off.
5. Compared to older Mustangs, car can actually stop and turn.

You laugh. Meantime these kids build those memories and attachments that may well last a lifetime, to Honda...
