I completely agree. Dropping the 2-Door, especially for the Si, is a big mistake.
Many car companies make limited edition models that may not sell the most compared to their other models, but it attracts car buyers to their other models. History has proven this is a successful strategy.
Look...
I haven't read all of the posts in this post, but wouldn't it be very close to the "official" pics here:

"The thing is, that is a big change, and Honda doesn't do that."
There are many HP versions of the 1.5L used in the Civic/Civic Si & Accord. For some unknown reason, Honda uses a different clutch plate for most of them.
It is completely stupid. They should have used the clutch plate from the...
EVs are the only thing that get the Headlines. No one ever talks about the huge advances in Gasoline technologies that are bigger advances than what is made in the EV sector.
Liquid fuels like Gasoline & Diesel have a vastly higher Energy-Density than all other forms.

I understand your point on the 6%, & it is valid to a point, but the low percentage is more due to the COVID-19 shutdown & people only buying "neccessary" new vehicles. People that buy 2-Door cars, Sports Cars, etc. weren't out buying during this time.
If you bought one, you could not drive it...
I love cloth seats. They don't get too hot nor too cold.
I also love the honey-comb grill (they took part of that away in front with the fog lamps & made it a boring flat plastic part for the 2020 model).
And, of course, Manual Transmission is a MUST!
There are many things that need improvement...
New car sales don't have a virtual flatline for 19-20 years in a row when the population is increasing by 15+%.
There is a reason for this & the only thing that has changed any significant amount is the lack of Manual Transmissions.
While there is a lack of Manual Transmissions in the US, you...
First, the advantage of the Si & Type-R is to use many of the same parts the regular Civics use instead of just being a niche car.
Second, just because car companies make them available does not mean people will buy them.
Look at the Prius. It started selling in 2002 in the US. Peak hybrid...
If they can't drive a Manual,....LEARN how to.
If they aren't willing to learn how to drive a Manual, they're not looking for a real Sports Car, just a status symbol.
People who want a real Sports Car will drive Manual. They want to drive it, not have the car drive them.
You can't count 2020 as ALL vehicle sales have dropped in all categories.
It's a mistake for Honda to discontinue the 2-Door versions. Many car companies build limited number of sports cars to boost their image & sell more of their regular cars.
Both Americans & Japanese car companies have done...
Manual Transmission aren't going away. Look at Europe & virtually every vehicle is available in Manual, including SUVs, same ones sold in the US in automatic only.
Manufactures & Dealers figured out decades ago that Americans will buy anything as long as they can take it home today, so they...
Minus the Hybrid & that would be great!
Hybrids are a waste of $$$ & have Low Resale Values vs other equivalent vehicles, as have been proven by almost 20 years of Prius resales.
It also adds additional, uneccessary weight.
I usually get over 40 MPG average on the highway on a full tank of gas...
Poor sales? I see a LOT of them on the road. Everyone that has commented on my 2-Door Si has said it looks a LOT better than the 4-Door version.
This was one of the major deciding factors that made me choose the Civic Si over the Corolla, which isn't offered in a 2-Door.
Doing an invetory...
