It's more than fitting that the Civic is compared to the Corolla considering the two vehicles traditionally lead the compact car sales category. The Corolla outsold the Civic in 2015, if my memory is correct.The better question is why compare it to a car that's not even close to the same class anymore? Civic easily Trump's the rolla in every category...
Toyota also inflates their sales numbers with fleet sales whereas honda does not. So you have to look at private buyer sales lists that disregard fleet sales. Historically honda has almost always sold more accords, civics and CRVs than toyota sold camry, corolla and rav4 but with fleet sales factored in, toyota sells more by overall volume.It's more than fitting that the Civic is compared to the Corolla considering the two vehicles traditionally lead the compact car sales category.

"Totaled" is a function of cost to fix near or exceeding value of the car. The cost to fix these would be in that ballpark, easily. Just the airbags deployed is thousand$ in replacement cost. And they appear to have structural damage all the way through the passenger compartment. Look at the doors crushing together, even on the Civic. And the Civic's deck lid pops. That'd spend a long time on the rack getting back anywhere close to factory dimensions.would people consider the car to be "totaled"?
