I know the new Civic is still probably building up inventory but it has been out about 2 months now. I'd suspect they have enough to fill demand, but I could be wrong. Anyone know? In August, they sold only 1/3rd of what the 6 year old model sold in the month of the Tsunami.

I now it's still early, but I think Honda is in trouble with the new Civic. From the mostly mediocre reviews to the wide array of great competitors, Honda's #2 car could bring Honda further down in their decline.
