Seems that someone at Honda started to think about “affordability”. Last year, Honda announced they were dropping the bottom “LX” trim Civic. Back in the day, “LX” was the high volume, mid-priced trim, with both DX and CX below it. The push for ever higher ATP and GP sent the LX trim to extinction, joining DX and CX.
Now, Honda announces the return of the LX trim. Meanwhile, GM and Ford honchos dismiss concerns about affordability with “let them buy used”.
