OK let's look at Feb's sales.

Corolla - 3591
Mazda3 - 3014
Yaris - 2512
Astra - 1767
Civic - 1641

Civic will never catch up with the old Corolla. We know that if a new car doesn't sell well in the first year of release, it's very unlikely to sell well in subsequent years. Also the new Corolla will be on sale next month. Civic simply don't stand a chance.

Please UNLS1, help us forumners.
No more CRV that is not only ugly but build in Thailand. Ensure that the next Euro is as good looking as the current one and still Made in Japan.
And I'll definitely give you top priority when I buy the new Euro.

I think you mean Mazda 3 and not Mazda2. The 2 is a shitbox and sales are pathetic. The 3 is a runaway success though.

Also, what makes you think that UNLS1 has any influence over where the next Euro will be built?

My apologies. You're right. It's the Mazda2. I've corrected my post.
From previous posts, I believe UNLS1 works in one of the Vic dealers.
Customer feedback should be important to him.

can u pick the difference between the civic hybrid and thai built civics build quality?

lol someone change the thread name :p

Bugga!

I wanted the new Lux 2007 crv to replace my current CRV ( 02 auto) but I drove two of them, both autos ( for missus) and they are baaad sluuuugs..esp 80-120kph in 3rd -my main overtaking requirement. My current CRV is just adequate there but this one is a bad mother, I'd say dangerously scary if you were overtaking a truck on single lanes. ( as i do regularly on country trips). Ok so they werent run but if you add a few passengers and luggage then forget it.

So im basically ruling it out.

It handles VERY well and the build quality is exceptional. For all of you crapping on about the thai build then I suggest you actually get in one and have a lookm. I have a 05 Euro as well as my current CRV so I know what im taking about.

Hope the bring out the diesel or im hitting the v6 Rav4...

Tribeca's getting a nose job. Is there one for the CRV?

"... The hybrid-powered Civic is made in Japan, all other Civic models sold in Australia now come from Thailand. (Anyone looking to buy a regular, Thai-built Civic should check the plastic fitting of the seat backs and around the digital speedometer screen - both were loose on previous cars we've tested.) ..."

Might be worthwhile to check it out although article was published last June.

I still think the CRV looks tough from the front, it grew on me, used to kind of hate it :p.

If this is the worst thing about Civics coming from Thailand then I'll take it anyday.

I think the bottom line is, it doesn't matter where the car is made, there's sure to some minor problems regardless of the brand.

Eg. My aunt didn't recently purchased a Mercedes... there's been a neverending list of problems she has to put up with. Just because it's a Merc doesn't mean it's going to be problem free.
