As predicted when the libbys went crazy about rising prices due to tariffs.
The Civic is a nice, well built car where the quality is not compromised
even though it's a lower level economy type car. At least the basic models.
The Type R is a true sports car and while a little flamboyant with body kits
is a lot of fun to drive.

Had a Honda Civic Wagon once. That car went 200,000 miles with nothing
more than routine maintenance, tires, brakes.

So they have the same capacity as the manufacturers being driven
out of business.

Another useless "siri" post.

The cars will now cost thousands of dollars more, and be of lower quality.

If American car factories could produce quality cars at competitive prices, they
already would be. They can't.
