The civic has been Number One is canada for the past 4 or 5 years.

I am not sure how long the Civic will stay in the number 1 spot. The car is underpowered and the suspension on the 7th gens are not the greatest. With the Mazda 3 in showrooms, Corolla Xrs, and Chev Colbalt knocking on the door. The Civic will have some major competition.

I totally back that up. I think Honda is sitting on their *** to much (too much self esteem can kill you...)and might be in for a big surprise when new sales number will be in for 2004.

Man, all those trucks, why do they even both making Civics ULEV when emissions regulations regarding trucks (and SUVs) are still so damn lax?

honda has been so focused on making an suv/truck that can challenge the ford, ram, and chevy trucks that they forgot about all their other cars. while domestic companies are making more compact cars better , honda isn't making any changes......it seems like they are forgeting the cars that made them popular and succesful

I still think they know that the Accord & Civic are their bread and butter and as of yet none of those cars made to compete have shown that they can break the top 10. However I hope that they see down the line that the competition will eventually catch up. We'll just have to wait for the 8th gen before we pass judgement.

People that buy the cavalier obviously don't know it's a death trap with poor crash ratings. They're probably diehard domestic auto lovers that won't even look at an import brand. I feel sorry for them if they have a wreck, because they may not live to learn their lesson.

im not sure if you ever looked at the history of the civic, it was never a powerful car in its class. also it was never the greatest in handling. despite these shortcomings it was always a good seller. im not saying that the civic will be king of sales forever, but what ever formula honda has been using to sell their weaker spec cars has been working.

No wonder the Cavalier, Impala, and Taurus are on the list, they are rental car companies favorites. You will see a crap load of them sitting at airport rental car lots throughout North America.

Heh. I didn't know trucks sold so well.

That's funny, last time I rented a car I had the choice between 2 cavaliers and a Taurus...

Trucks are king man, have been for as long as I remember. I think the F150 has been the top selling vehicle for almost 20 years. It's not that surprising when you consider that most of those trucks are sold 6 or 7 at a time to businesses

"Civic sales were down 4.3 percent last year, while Honda Division's overall car sales slipped 2.7 percent."

"In 2002, Civic sales had slumped 5.6 percent, while Honda Division's car sales fell 5.8 percent."

Honda is beginning to see a slump in sales. However, they offer less incentives than most every manufacturer at an average of $1,096 per vehicle. Toyota's average is $2,393 and GM's is $4,106 per vehicle.
