(...) Apparently Americans don't like hatch backs, so I wouldn't expect a hatch to appear in North America any time soon. I assume that's why the SiR was being build in the UK. Iain you should get a Ridgeline, that's more your style. :-) Derek (19 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Hey! :) I don't think they sold a lot of those Civic SiR's. They were built in the UK and were very expensive ($30K, IIRC). Plus, the eighth generation Civic is due next year. Calum (19 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
