The Audi has been out for months now and I have only seen one so far. Have not seen any of the others.

I've seen the first 4 but the vote will only let you pick one. So I voted Civic since I've seen them the most.

Oh and I've only seen the A3 at the dealer... does that count?

You can only vote for 1 car so I voted Civic, but have also seen the new Jetta.

Oops, Jetta not on the list, haven't seen Passat yet on road.

Seen a few Civic coupes, but no sedan yet.  Odd.

Saw a Civic coupe yesterday for the first time. It actually caught my eye from the front. I found that odd that a Civic did that. It looked good.

I've seen several A3s. Driven two different ones. Great car.

Only seen one 2006 Civic so far, a low-end sedan.

Only new Passat I've seen was on the showroom floor.

Oh and a few new Sonantas, one Yaris, a couple of new Grand Vitaras, a 2006 PT Cruiser, and an HHR.

Couple of A3s & a Passat. No Civics yet.

Saw a Fusion at the local Ford dealership the other day. Thought it was an Acura TL or maybe TSX at first glance - pretty sharp looking for a Ford.

You must have been very far away.... :rofl:

The Fusion does look very good.

I seen another Fusion from the back….nice a$$. I might have to go have a close look at the dealer. It looks good from every angle. Ford might have another hit on its hands. Sure makes the latest releases form GM look geriatric. ;D

A3, Civic, and Passat.

A3 looks great.  Not keen on the Civic sedan, but like the coupe.  My wife hates Hondas/Acuras on principle (something about being Asian and reminders of boys in high school - I don't go there), but loves the look of the new Civic coupes (I was very surprised).

A3s are everywhere. I am glad Brilliant Red isn't that popular yet. ;D

Civic sedans are already popular on university/college parkades, so does Yaris. There are more Passats than Jettas on the road.

Surprisingly, E90 isn't as popular as I expected. At least there aren't as many as E46 when it first introduced. On the other hand, C230 V6 and B-Classes are everywhere.

Voted for the one I saw first (and also most often)...the A3.  I've seen three of them...2 in white, and a red one (my fave).

I saw a new Civic sedan yesterday for the first time.  Haven't seen the coupe yet.  I quite liked the look of the sedan.  Honda should sell gazillions of them.

No Passats yet.
