That's the first thing I was thinking. It looks like a ion Saturn car.

Sounds like the Civic SI will be a replacement for the Prelude -- 6 spd and
200 hp. But, I would guess that the ADM will put the price at around 24k.

They have ruined what was a very decent looking compact sedan. Actually, a
Saturn Ion looks BETTER than the 2006 Civic sedan. And the Chevy Cobalt
sedan looks better than either one of them. I'd be suspect of the Cobalt's
downstream reliability though.

Oh yeah. It's STILL a GM product. Not as bad as Ford, but close.

My #2 son bought a Cobalt a few months ago (not his first choice, but he
could get a better price on a Chevy than on anything else and money was
tight) so we shall see. At 5K miles there are a few things to fix under
warranty, including a clunk in the steering. Hmm.

It is probably a minor lubrication issue. Stick with the car and you
will enjoy it. Civics have their share of problems: anemic engine
performance, outdated styling, overstated gas mileage unless you drive
like grandpa and astronomical insurance in many places.

They can't do better than that ?! The Civic is in major need of a good
overhaul of design. It does not need a look Saturn and Acura came up
with some years ago. By the way, are they addressing the underpowered
85-140 hp engine selections?

A year has made a lot of changes. GM tops industry reliability now.
Best built cars include Buick, Malibu, Cadillac. I am not sure if
Honda models made the top 10.
