It was on the TV broadcast.

Not even on the website yet.

Here's the story from the LA Times:

The Civic has been a CR mainstay for a hell of a long time. If it is getting bounced (not bounced...but slammed), that is rather significant.

Hyundai is kicking Honda's arse right now. They drive better, look better, and the cost and gas mileage are very competitive.

Didn't Consumer Reports also not recommend the iPhone 4?

No doubt, their quality is going way up from what it was. I haven't seen anything like it.

Everyone I know with an iphone 4 likes it a lot. They only "problem" I know about was the antenna issue that nobody I know has had a problem with. You need something conductive to short one part of the case to another and you lose signal. I think this only really matters if you want to carry your $400 phone in your pocket with keys/change and no case.

All I can say to this is I see a lot of 10-25 year old Honda cars on the road and very few Hyundai cars over 10 years.

I've always found them to be loud and slow...but reliable and efficient.

I never remember a time where the Americans and Koreans were obviously better in this segment. The Focus, Cruze, and Elantra are great players, with better features for thr money.

Toyota's offerings are stale as well in this segment.

The significance of the rating that the new design did not perform as well as the old one, and the competition has moved past it. It was rated poorly not because of a recall or other temporary problem...the whole car is not competitive.

The only direction it could go. The Excel was about on par with a Yugo.
