Why 2006 Civic got so many variant?

[InitialD]

I am puzzled as to why Honda will make a few variant of the same car for different regions? Also why not offer all variant to the consumer? I heard we are only getting the Asian version.

Which version do you like?

Very very likely we'll be getting the Asia/Thailand one. In fact it looks a little different from the picture above. The actual headlights look a bit like our very own Gen2 headlights. But i don't know why this version on top is rather straight and boxy as compared to the actual curvy headlights(Gen 2 style).

If you ask me, i think the US Civic looks hot. In fact its already been launched and apparently its called the 2006 Civic Si.

Yup, the US Civic SI Coupe rocks! Saw it last being given away to the 3 finalist of the INXS: Rockstar reality tv programme.

You guys have answered the question yourselves. You all prefer the conventional sedan form rather than the European preferred hatchback form.

Manufacturers build cars to cater to differing tastes. Like how Americans like all their cars really BIG. That's why modern cars are getting bigger and bigger. Because burger munching Americans are getting bigger as well.

For Japanese manufacturers, the big market is America and Europe. So usually they'll have 2 variants tailor made to suit the target market's taste. Over here in Malaysia, we usually get one of the 2 abovementioned models depending on what they think will suit us more.

But looks like we more prefer euro taste....

 

[si|verfish]

What made you say that? Maybe we are now beginnng adopting European taste but traditionally we have always favour saloons over hatchbacks. A good example is the Ford Focus, which is sold as a hatchback in most places but for this region where a saloon (sedan) version is created. Same with the City/Jazz case.

america 1 damn chun mar...

The US market Civic SI comes in 6 speed manual with LSD. K20 making 200hp on crank. Why they don't make this figure when I had my 2000 SI?

*RANT*

honda engineers have good foresight and vision.....

they know that the civics have good "scrap value", whole world is looking for civic EG, EK half cuts now even though they already "cut" and scrap the car in japan, so now they make more facelift so that in 10-15 years time when kids of our generation are looking for half cut for their civics, they have more choice..... hehehehee.... "see, i convert to Euro look" ...another guy will be "i got america look" .... :)
