      2012????

      Consumer Reports says redesigned Honda Civic scores too low to be recommended - Yahoo! Autos

      I am not very religious (no insult to anyone), but you may believe in this 2012 thing after reading this article.

      what?


      about the article though:

      " It's ahead of only the Volkswagen Jetta, which plunged 16 points after its own recent redesign. "

      just shows that when companies slowly push themselves out of their own class and then redesign (cheapen) things the fall back in it does not go unnoticed. while other cars are still climbing into the class.. once (if) they end up leading the class will end up doing the same thing.

      you can not take $30000 car design and cheapen it to a $20000 price point. Hyundai, kia are still taking $15000 cars and putting $5000 of "goodies" into the for a $20000 market point. Once their cars are $20000 designs they will lose the goodies and as long as honda and vw fix their "mistakes" hyundai and kia will drop back in the class. Its basic car economics.

      I was implying that Honda got some negative criticism, it is THE END OF THE WORLD!

      but yeah, you are dead on there

      i was thinking that you were talking about the end of the world, but the mayan calendar does not really have much to do with any religion practiced in recent history. And it also had no reference to the article. Scion however (their commercials) do refer to mayans, and worm hole time travel. So maybe the ancient race will return driving Turbo Tc coupes..

      Maybe, looks like they do not mind paying that much money for a TC......

      Yeah, I can't believe that Civic got rated so poorly. It's usually one of the top-rated cars in its category.
