A Hummer remains a Hummer a Jag a Ferrari an Audi every car keeps its unique look and feature and then upgrade. Only Honda can bring in a booted jazz and call it new City by replacing a master piece OHC and then after the booted hatch now they get a totally different car and call ANHC. That is selfish of Honda to eat brand value and not loyal towards the brand and brand loyal customers. Same with Accord, what a master piece the old accord was, they could have kept the lines same and enhanced it more. What is the point to bring a totally new car and call it next generation? I don't dislike Honda for some personal issue, it is their policies and style which I don't like, Honda is good for themselves and industry as they keep their range updated, all their models are new and stylish but from customers point of view Honda is inconsistent. A soon as you buy a Honda it becomes an old design. They will soon come up with a totally different thing and you are left with an outdated model. I have said earlier also that there is no point buying a Honda after the product is 2 years old. |
If it was left to you Maruti would be the best manfacturer in the world as they have been updating the same old lines on the Maruti 800, Alto, WagonR, Esteem etc for years
Take a look at Verna and Accent, take a look at Laura and Octi, Mazda 323 and Mazda 3, take a look at new Camry and old Camry. They are all different cars and not mere cosmetic upgrades as you'd want us to believe. They have different wheelbase, engines, chasis etc. There are no cosmetic con jobs like Maruti (ppl hate Maruti for this). Toyota has pulled a Maruti on us with Altis. If it was left to you we would be driving old cars with same engines and new bumpers and stickers for years. And feel happy about it too....
I am not sure about everyone, but I do want new models to come out. It brings in new technology, provides jobs to ppl, gives us better goods and makes you want to upgrade your car as well. Lets just leave it at that! Quote:

^^Again your justification! There is a huge difference between knocking your knee ONCE, that you now claim. And knocking your knees ALWAYS (having never been able to get inside a Civic without knocking your knee) that you claimed before. So you have swiftly flip flopped your way out of this one. Therefore your statements are inconsistant and have been rendered baseless representing an inherent bias towards the product. Its quite clear from reading your posts that your apparent dislike of the Civic has made you to loose all objectivity while critisizing the car. From hereon anything you say or write about Civic would be considered prejudiced....
