Generally, I'm not a fan of cruising along crowded surface streets and highways with my engine spinning at 5k waiting for a golden opportunity to pass. Sometimes it's just more suitable to cruise in at a lower rpm and then shift and punch it when you have your moment.

according to data on their respective sites:
 
Apr 07 Civic sales (North America): 29,155 units
Feb 07 (latest month available, assumed to be NA units) Scion Tc Sales: 4,399 units
 
that's a difference of 567%....and the Civic is priced considerably higher.

wow pretty impressive. I like the scions packaging, but i would never take it over the civic.
 
one thing that honda needs to do is re-evaluate the conept of only including leather wrapped steering wheels in leather clad or sporty versions of each respective car.
 
I shouldn't have to special order a leather wrapped steering wheel for an ex at least. If the fit has one, so should the civic.

Doesn't that Civic sales number include ALL versions of the Civic? It's quite unfair to compare sales of 4-door, 2-door, hybrid, and Si models of the civic to 1 model of the Tc.
 
A more interesting (and valid) comparison would be to compare sales of the Honda Civic Coupe only to those of the Scion Tc. I bet the sales numbers would be much closer.

sure you could break it down further but I seriously doubt the results would be any different.
 
If you conservatively estimate that only 1 in 4 are non-Si coupes, that is over 7,000 in April 07. That's still almost 2x the Tc Feb 07 sales.
 
The Honda site already separated the 2,855 Hybrids:

What's also interesting to think of is this -- I am glad that the tC is more rare. I wouldn't want something that everyone and their grandma has. Why be like everyone else?
 
Being different IS good, to follow the crowd isn't the best option.

One could say the same about the Pinto station wagon.
 
why are you here? Most places would label you a troll and ignore you.

so just because YOU don't like what I have to say, that makes me a troll? Too bad that everyone doesn't agree with you. If you don't like the tC, why are YOU posting here? hmm?
 
deal with it bub..

ummm...because its a civc vs tc thread?
 
There is a lot of reasons why the civic does better.
 
I'll take the grandma civic over the girlfriend tc anyday.
