Topic: LA Auto Show: Honda Enhances 2014 Civic With New CVT, Increased Power, Safety Equipment

[PJ]

I remember the old days when Honda and Toyota were the top of the market in compact cars.  Now they are also rans that sell to people who buy for the name and don't test drive anything else.

The Mazda3, Cruze, Focus, the Korean twins and even the Dart rate higher on my shopping list now.

   Also rans  The Civic and Corolla are both in the top 3 in Canadian Auto sales.

And Walmart and Target are two of the top retail stores. Doesn't mean they are where you go when you want the best clothes, electronics and food.

I wouldnt call the Corolla or Civic Walmart or Target, thats reserved for the Dart. You get more room, more features....it just feels cheaper and you know it isnt going to last long. The Focus and Mazda 3 would be my picks, but the Corolla/Civic arent exactly non-starters......
