Civic Hybrid Coupe?

Does anybody know if Honda will be offering a Civic Hybrid Coupe in
America in the near future? I am looking for car a bit shorter than
the Civic Sedan.

That's all a matter of perspective, isn't it? ;-)

It's called the Insight.

If I am not mistaken, the Insight is no longer available.

Also, the Insight was a 2-seater. A Civic Coupe would be 4.5 seats.

So you can put .5 of a person in there as well. That's handy if you're an
ax-murderer.

They call it 5 seats, but the middle seat in the back is barely wide
enough for an ethiopian. ;-)

Oops. I was making the wrong comparison. I made a chart but misread
it or something when I was thinking about the difference between the
new Civic Coupe or Sedan.

I am considering from a bunch of different small cars for something to
replace my 91 Accord 4dr. I'd like a car short enough to allow me to
squeeze a motorcycle 250-500 cc motorcycle in front of the car. With
my 91 Accord which is 183.5" I have about 8" in back and 12" in front
of the car, so about 20" of space.

The Civic Coupe is 174.8"

The Civic Sedan is 176.7"

The Fit is 157.4"

The Yaris is 150.6"

The Scion XA is 154"

The Matrix is 171.3"

and yes, 1.9" might be meaningful in my life. Do those penis
extenders really work?

I took a look at Scions recently. They do seem to be a damned fine car,
but not as inexpensive as they seem on the surface. Once you add in all
of the features that come standard in many of the other lines (Civic, for
instance), you end up with a vehicle that costs just as much, or more.

Of the 3, I personally like the Xa best. To my eye, the Xb is just plain
ugly. The Tc is nice, but the Xa wins it for me...

It's all things that I actually WANT. Side airbags. Decent wheels. Good
stereo.

Basically, everything that came on my 06 Civic Si are things that I would
have paid extra for in options. I wouldn't settle for a car without them.
So, to me, a Scion isn't that great of a deal.

It is a fine starter car, though, for someone buying their first new car.
Young 20's, not a lot of cash. Being a Toyota product gives confidence
that it will be reliable, and you can get it dirt cheap, with no options...
