Deep concerns in Japan that the global credit crisis structurally shifted the market in North America towards smaller and less-expensive vehicles led Honda to make major changes in its product plans late last year, likely delaying the arrival of the new Civic past its usual four- or five-year product cycle.

Honda CEO Takanobu Ito didn't provide a time frame for when the next-generation Civic would arrive, but told trade journal Automotive News that the team is having trouble meeting the revised deadlines.

It doesn't matter when it arrives, Consumer Reports already recommends it as a top pick.

Except the civic is at the top of the class as far as affordable small cars go. The cobalt is WAY behind.
