Congratulating Honda On a Job Well Done

Very cool pic. Indeed, this new Civic is legit!!

Looks like Honda's got its Mojo back!

About the award: I don't see Honda as actually having any competition here. Well, that Shelby was pretty awesome, and the Miata would have been fun too... The Volt looks kind of ... bland, and the Prius is uh, challenging to my eyes... but it would have been my second choice. The Prius had a goal, to drive better while delivering even better fuel economy, and by all reports it achieved it. Looking good, or even not ugly, was not one of the goals, unfortunately. Still, I'd drive one.

But do the math: 2016 Civic/2015 Civic > 2016 Prius/2015 Prius.

The Civic had a goal too, what with benchmarking the Audi A3, and it achieved it very handily. Congrats Honda, an award well deserved. Now where's my Turbo DCT hatch?

Now just bring us an epic Si/Type R, sooner than later.

My guess is they`ll be incremental with it

Just launching it to be good enough for overall expectations and with what it will rival.

I'm expecting the Type R to beat the Focus RS.

Beating the Focus RS... tough to say but it should at least be able to keep up. Fortunately Honda has the upper hand here with the Focus RS already on the market, easy to 1+ Ford. But then who knows what Ford has planned for future model years.
