But do you anticipate the Civic to really be a clear top dog, or will it be the case that no matter what the comparison, it really will just be more of a subjective opinion from the reviewer?Definitely. With the new elantra coming out and the new cruze and the current mazda3 holding the crown in most comparisons of compact cars it'll be interesting to see the shootouts again and see how the civic stacks against the competition given that it's been mid pack the past 5 years.
