Why aren't new Honda Civics popular?

I have owned my new model Civic for a year, but have only seen six of these on the road, over several counties (two of these are owned by friends). Can you please explain this?

They're not as popular as they deserve to be, mainly due to the shape which a lot of people find ugly. I like them, especially the 1.8i, which gave me 48mpg over 700 miles and is very roomy inside. In France, the new Civic 1.6iDTEC comes with a million kilometre or 10-year service package and guarantee.
