Maybe. But with sales of the Corolla/Matrix up almost 14% YTD and soundly beating the brand new Civic Sedan/Coupe by about 10K units a month, they do have a valid point. Why not save a couple million, let it go an extra year, and give them time to produce a product that won't just maintain the status quo but maybe increase sales even more? The new Civic is a great car but sales versus the old model have been pretty flat (other than the incredible first two months after launch).
