Quote:A year ago, Motor Trend gave its Car of the Year to the Chrysler 300, which has been a key to improving sales and profits at DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler Group unit

So last year the 300 gets car of the year, but this year the Charger (which is almost the exact same vehicle) couldn't beat the Civic? :rolleyes:

:lol: That's a joke. I mean come on... although the Civic is actually going somewhere now: looks much better than the past few model changes, I still think it's nothing to be awarded... eww.

didn't the focus get a 'car of the year' award when it was first introduced also? how is the civic getting that award any more or less funny?

Because you are dealing with a bunch of people who find meaning in a sticker of Calvin peeing on stuff.

LOL so true...... :lol:

:lol: No joke, the Focus imo revolutionized Ford in a way many people don't understand or see for that matter. It was a brave leap from the auto maker, one that could have left them in a lot of debt... but instead it a pretty good reputation, even though it had and still has recalls galore. The fact of the matter is, it's a totally different car for Ford... the Civic is a plain jane, still the same old Civic we grew up with. Why not get rid of the Civic, and make a new class of car? One with smaller engines, more economical power, etc? Ford's got the Fiesta, Ka, etc. Options are there. Even though they're not in the North American market... they're there, and being rigerously tested by the company and owners every day. When we (North Americans) realize there is a spike in the market and a need for better economy cars, well Ford will release a Euro car and/or engine into our market... but until then, Ford along with many other NA auto makers will rebuild, and start from scratch over and over again. I think that's something pretty impressive.

Hey now... :glare: easy on the 05's! :)

I saw the ass end of one on the way home... Junior saw me and some modified 2nd Gen Cavy, he had to pass us in mommy's stock 06 Shitvic.

I seriously wasn't impressed with the style nor the sound coming out from under the hood.

Remember what I said about the Corolla having the grossest-sounding base engine on the planet? The new Civic just took away the crown.


Honda Civic...car Of The Year - Flofocus - 11-29-2005

you guys are hilarious. Seriously. Especially you NOS. I just shake my head at these posts, I'm not even going to bother.

wow. :ph34r:


Honda Civic...car Of The Year - NOS2Go4Me - 11-29-2005

What? I said the engine sounded like it was going to die.

Have you driven a stock Corolla? Have you heard the noise a stock Civic makes at speed while accelerating from 60-70ish MPH?

It's not pretty. What's so wrong about that and saying I don't like the ass end either?


Honda Civic...car Of The Year - K_OS - 11-29-2005

I think that if they only had the 4dr to judge from the Civic would not have won but I think that the new SI tipped the scales in the Civic's favour. You can't argue with the SIs specs it's an impressive car for the 25g's(?) Canadian that it's going to cost.

Laterz :)

Didn't you hear? Ferrari and Porsche gave up after the 2000 Focus SPI was launched. Subaru gave up a year later.


Honda Civic...car Of The Year - NOS2Go4Me - 11-29-2005

Right. Found it.

WTF are you going on about? Where have I said anything about Ferrari and Porsche? And you're asleep, because I LOVE Subarus. Especially my buddy's STi.

I said the Honda Shitvic's new base engine sounds like crap, so does the Corolla base engine, and I'd take the SPI any day over either.

That's my opinion. That doesn't mean I'm against every other car in the world. :rolleyes:

I also said the new styling sucks, especially the ass end. Something tells me I'm not the only person in the world that thinks that.
