I'm a little sad about this - the planned Honda looked nice, the range would have been fine for us (we usually take our pickup on longer road trips anyway), and I was hoping to replace our Mazda 3 with one if it drove nicely and all that. I admit that I had some concerns about the GM underpinnings, though - my experience with American brands is rough, and our experience with GM is the roughest.

We plan to hit the auto shows next year to get an idea of what we want to look at more closely.

The previously announced cars are still releasing.

Oh thanks. I missed that. Still have the GM influence concern though!
