Because if someone is purchasing this thing as their ‘sunny day/weekend’ car, well…I can list many cars/ideas that would be cheaper/more fun than driving around a 20 year old stock Honda. And to daily drive it? Well, it’s going to get torn up and depreciate. Also, it’s not as reliable as a car that’s 10-20 years newer that goes for a similar price. Period. Argue that all you want, but only someone with a fair amount of technical knowledge would understand.

Actually I think its fair to say THAT Crx would be more reliable and cost less to maintain than more than half of newer cars in that price range. Audis, bmws with mileage on them… chevys fords etc.  
Itd be dumb to claim most would get the Crx over a vette of same price. I’d def want a c5 anything, but look at what’s happening here: numerous people are willing to pay 93% of the original value of a 20 year old USED Honda. That would almost never happen on any other car. ESPECIALLY a vette or stang lol! This was meant to get groceries and be fuel efficient. LMAO
