agreed, if they kept it coupe style it would have probably been lighter, and would have sold more IMO

Are you kidding me? The Si was a hatch WAY before it was a coupe. Honda took a gamble bringing it back to a hatch after becomming a coupe and it backfired.

I think the biggest flop would be the Honda Passport. It had good intentions, but never had anything spectacular about it...

I'm not sure if this is a flop... But I've always wondered why Honda keeps making 2 different kinds of SUV's... I.E.: The CR-V and the Pilot...

Si was definetly a flop. It would have sold more if it had more things going for it like a 6spd or a stronger engine. The fact that it was only available in a hatch didn't help either. There should have been a non-si version of the hatch and the Si.


CRV and Pilot compete in two different markets.

Yeah, but the Honda Passport was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo, made entirely by Isuzu. And the old Honda Odyssey (1st gen) made by Honda was rebadged as an Isuzu Oasis.

The CR-V is a compact SUV, the Pilot is considered a midsize. Think of it as Toyota's Rav4 and the 4runner. CR-V=Rav4, Pilot=4runner, in terms of what class they are in.
