Just saw the news......motor trend voted honda civic
car of the year for 2006.
Had to happen with that throaty 197 hp

 

I'd give a year before I bought one to give Honda time to get the bugs out.

 

How was is a car voted car of the year before it even hits the market? I doubt it, but what if the thing hits the market and pulls a Ford focus(has about 50 recalls in the first year). My vote for car of the year for 2006 will be the 'vette z06, 427 big block baby!

 

magazine editors aren't like you and I. they get to test drive cars long before they hit dealer lots...

as for the z06 for being car of the year. not likely. it's a one-trick pony. lol.

 

not what car and driver said about it...

 

New GTR all the way... even if it isn't an '06 when it's released.

 

i would never give car of the year award to a vehicle from a company that is going "BANKRUPT".

GM blows.

 

haha^ poor people getting laid off before christmas, i feel bad.....but im not surprised its the car of the year, ITS A HONDA!

Here it is. Car of the Year.

 

I never liked these little cheap Jap econo cars, but something about the '06 drew me to it. I guess Motor Trend felt the same way.
