I can't disagree with you on that, bro, but all is not lost...

Look, here's the way I read the situation: Honda inadvertently created the whole hot import street scene with the Honda CiViC. They didn't do this on purpose. It just happened.

Everything was fine until they decided to go the 'Global Compact Platform' route, and build CiViC's on the same chassis as trucks, vans, SUV's, 4x4's and so forth.

The 'new' CiViC has been completely ignored by the tuning community, and it's not gonna get any better with the 'new' 2006 redesign. It's gonna get worse.

Let's face it - the Honda CiViC died in 2001. That's the bad news...

Now for the good news (maybe). IMHO Honda pulled another rabbit out of their hat - this time it's the Honda Fit aka Jazz...







To my way of thinking, if Honda plays their cards right, they've got another winner on their hands!

Time will tell...
