All of which compromise handling in order to offer the vehicle-on-stilts
stance which some fools think looks cool. Most of the crossovers also
get relatively poor fuel economy and lack interior space.

Four wheel drive is great if you need it, but if you don't need it then
the extra weight and complexity means lower fuel economy and higher
running costs for no real benefit. Here in coastal CA there is no good
reason to own four wheel drive for on road use.

Civic coupe is common enough in LA, commuter-specials and/or
ricemobiles. Acura RSX is respectable, though I think less common
than a few years ago.
