If you look into it closely, hindi na COMPACT car ang binili mo. Yung Vios and City subcompact class ang pumalit sa dating compact class.

And of course, if they can produce it more affordable but still able to maintain quality eh di mas lalong ok.

Sana ito na nga ang strat na sundin ng Honda

yup, they overdo themselves by adding features to the next generation which necessitates a bigger and heavier frame, thus the bigger engine

this is a welcome move from honda and let's hope that the other car manufacturers follow suit. at sana, kasama na ring ang pagbaba ng srp ng vehicle

"The easiest option would be to make products cheaper, but we have to not only cut the price but also maintain the highest quality," Ito said. "This applies to all models, but the biggest is the world Civic."

This is what I've been dreaming for many years now that Honda someday will include in its goals the cost reduction of its mighty cars including the Civic.

Honda may become unbeatable with these new goals.

The real reason for the bigger sized "compacts" of yore: the one-time largest market for cars, the USA, was also getting larger - literally. Blame it on double, even triple quarter pounders w/ supersized sodas. Now that the new largest market for cars is Asia (China, India and the ""tigers"), Honda thought, "OK we can make the Civic small again."

Just being facetious.
