I believe the word you were looking for is infact "you're" in the first sentence. If you can't speak simple english don't try and critique someone else. Having said this, you can't even closely put the Civic in the same catagory as an Evolution. Even the fastest Civic will never touch even a half modified EVO.

Not many big event races though compared to their sybling, the NSX.
But no offense, they're not at all street-sports cars. They're just small economy cars who's sole purpose is for transportation of Point A to B. It wasn't built with sporty parts at all due to this.
All cars are like that THOUGH, an NSX is built with sport parts to give it more power, to make it worth driving....
I guess, in my words, I'd say
Civic=For those who don't care about how they get there, they just get there.
NSX=For those who want to have something making it worth a drive.

i beg to differ. there is a guy right now with w 1.5l 2001 civic trying to do over 206mph which is the world civic speed record. there are also fwd civics running 8's.
now that said i didnt put them in the same class on the street.
doulbe wishbone front and rear isnt sporty? a sub 1 ton car isnt sporty?

Civics are not sporty, ok. The Civic Si is different.
The Civic, as stated, is an econobox. It is designed to: get good gas mileage, be inexpensive to produce, buy, and maintain, have decent amounts of space and comforts, and be safe. The Civic Si is a sportiER econobox. It gets good gas mileage, yadda yadda yadda, but also has a bit more power and is quicker through the curves. The Type R... honestly I can't say much about that because we don't get it, so I don't hear much about it.
The NSX, while a tad bit underpowered, is very sporty.
BTW, I love the way this car is just SO aggressive, especially the rear. I think I'd touch up the front a bit before buying though.

Well my Dad owns a Civic Type R as a second car and it really is sporty. It is light and the the 200 hp Vtec runs up to 9000 rpm - Honda is known to produce world's best engines - the S2000 is still holding the world record for most hp per litre !
I drive a slightly modified Subaru Impreza WRX STi ( which can be compared best to the Evo ) with about 300 - 310 hp and of course it is faster than the Civic !
The Civic Type R is still an awsome car with superior handling - tuning without installing a turbo/supercharger ist not a big deal though which limits the high end capacity of the car. Honda is NA - I really hate those guys who install turbos and such...but that's another story...
class 1 : Civic / Integra Type R - Mazda RX8 - Subaru Impreza WRX
class 2 : Subaru Impreza WRX STi - Mitsubishi Evo
class 3 : Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, Honda NSX-R, STi spec C, Evo MR, Supra
sth like that... that is stock competition, massive tuning can change everything a lot and is not the question.
Concerning WRC :
Mitsubishi is recovering and might be fighting for the win again within the next two years or so.
Subaru is still a car that can win almost every rally, but since the PSA company
invested like 5 times more money than Subaru over the past years, they ruled the WRC ( more testing, more research etc etc, of course Loeb had his part,too), but now they can't /don't want to afford it anymore...

The civic Type R is definetly a sporty little number. It looks like a freakin race car however the rest of the civic line up is quite frankly ****e and everyone knows it.
