Just a note on this, I drove to the Honda dealership I bought my car at today to get an oil change (only to find out service is closed on sunday DOH!) But the more remarkable finding was the ENTIRE LOT WAS EMPTY. I drove around where there had been ROWS AND ROWS of honda civics 3 months ago and it was now completely empty, instead there were 2 FULL rows of honda pilots and only 3 - 4 door honda civics on the entire lot still with the travel plastic on. There were maybe a dozen new accords but I couldn't believe what was there, just a bunch of used trade-ins and SUV's.
