Wondering what will happen to the aftermarket support with how popular the 10th gens are. The same thing happened to the 08 Honda fit I had. After the next model came out aftermarket support went out the window. Just wanted to get your opinions on this one guys?

As long as there is a loyal following they will continue aftermarket support. The Civic is more popular then the Fit also so it has that going for it.

Usually it takes a few years for mods to become more popular, if people are requesting those mods.

It is waaayyyyy easier to find aftermarket parts for 01-05 civics now than when they came out.

That's true. And I NEVER thought those would have the support they do. Guess we just have to be patient. I'm really interested to see what the CVT tranny will do with boost. Obviously not so much that you would wreck it. But because you can stay in boost so long

The first gen fit (07-08) was only 2 model years. It was not produced in the numbers that the civic was. 140K fits sold in 2006-2008 calender years. I am not sure if the includes early 2009 models or just 1st gen models.

The civic can easily sell 300k in a year.
