Honestly, as far as the Civic is concerned, I'm surprised it's still selling as well after they said they were changing it a little for 2013
If when I bought mine (July 2011) I had known that, I probably would have put off buying it till the 2013's were released, just because they can only get better

But I suppose that's true with any new cars. They'll always get better, and eventually you just have to bite the bullet, buy it, and hope you don't regret not waiting

I don't know about anyone else, but if I'm spending $22,000 on something, I research it like crazy. I knew everything about this car before I even test drove it, as well as the CR-Z, VW, Ford, and Hyundai

you'd be amazed at how many people do zero research. Walk into a dealership for an oil change or whatever and walk out with a new car they had no intention of buying.

Yea, I know. It's sad really

My girlfriends mom came home with a new Prius a few months back, because the dealership convinced her that it would save her money on gas. She had no intention to buy a car
