Oh Honda... Why have you changed the accord to a be-all-end-all car? Didn't the civic do that just as well? Maybe instead of all the different packages of each car, they should try and become the most reliable again.

Thanks for the link. I had missed that one.

Wow, only 239 HCHs in October. Ouch. I'm a little surprised to see the Insight outselling it 7:1 though.

I don't understand Honda. Part of the reason I'm driving a Prius is the fact that I couldn't even find a HCH-II to test drive, much less take home. That was three years ago!
