So essentially Honda has added the safety features to an Accord, while dropping its Civic line - except for the nameplates, of course. But in order to get me to buy one of their current model year cars, they'd have to go back and re-create something the size of the '90 Civic. (Or in my case, a CRX/Del Sol.) Now if they want to add some of the "don't weigh all that much" safety features that don't also detract from my driving experience, fine.
