Good quality? Are you serious? You haven't even received the car yet. For me the the quality looks exactly like the X, but time will tell. Keeping in view the history of atlas honda and the way they've cut their costs on this generation aswell, you think they'll give better quality? Lol
The graph posted above, surely tells us the true story about how much interest people have in this new civic generation. And will surely be giving some investors heart attacks.
In my opinion, people opted for sportage, tuscon, mg, etc depite the civic X being cheaper at that time. If people had those sentiments at that time, now they've more options with sorento, sontata, Peugeot 2008, etc.
This new gen civic XI has truly disappointed alot of the true enthusiasts of honda. Honda had been the best car in the market and also has a cult following around the world. It was never about the looks or the features, it is popular because it could be tuned to drive very fast. Alot of people (including me), eventhough never tuned their cars for a better perfomance but atleast they had this thing at the back of their minds that it's a good engine and can be tuned to perform even better. We all know nad agree that the corolla was more reliable/durable, has better resale(used to), could be repaired anywhere in pakistan, has robust suspension, is more comfortable (personal opinion because it has softer seats and suspension), but still alot of us opted for civics because of better performance. Now that honda has detuned it, it's biggest charm is now gone. It's has now become an xli/gli of the civic world (for me atleast). People will still buy it though, but most enthusiasts are heartbroken and it also shows in the forum. Not everyone wants to buy the RS, oriel was a sweet spot and had the previous badge of being "top of the line", so naturally everyone was opting for that. It was a cool car at an affordable price but not anymore. Har kisi ko 61lac hazam nai ho ra for the RS, but with time every one will start buying it because this is how prices are now. Civics will remain cool and people will still buy them but not as much as it was seen before.
