The Kia Forte Koup, launched in 2010, clearly aimed to emulate the Honda Civic's success. Its aspiration is understandable, given the Civic's reputation for fuel efficiency, complemented by striking design and agile handling. Many automakers have attempted to replicate the Honda's popularity, including Chevrolet Cobalt, Mazda 3, and Scion tC, yet Honda has remained at the apex of sales charts. In 2008, the Civic accounted for an impressive 339,289 units sold, further solidifying its position even amidst the economic downturn in June of that year, where it was the top-selling car in the nation.
