I read an article in the Wall Street Journal that sales of the Civic were way
down because the kids who like to get them and then trick them out are now
looking for cars with more power. It seems the Mazda line is getting
attention. Lets face it. The Civic is an entry-level vehicle for lots of
young people and when you can spend the same money and get more power, they
do. Kids don't care that much about reliability or handling. They see price
power ratio and that's where they go. Anyway that's what I'm hearing. Anyone
have sales figures for the Civic comparing this year to last as well as to
other similar brands (Carrolla, Focus, Golf, etc.)
