Re: 2007 Nissan Versa Will Compete Against Aveo

The Honda car is expected to go on sale in the spring, about the same time as the Nissan Versa hatchback."

Why not mention the Aveo in this little blurb? It's the best selling vehicle in its class. This is the sort of subtle bias that pretty much exists across the board. Why mentoin an unconfirmed, distant future (meaning later than 2007) Honda car and not a domestic car that is the top seller?
Again, no credit is going to the domestic car makers.
