First US review of my car..

I’ve been wondering for a while what an American audience would make out of European-spec Honda Civic. It kind of looks like it flew in from another planet, but over here in Europe that’s not so very uncommon (one word: French cars).

Recent US cars inspire puzzled head scratching in most Europeans; especially the whole Prius thing: “What do you mean its more fuel efficient? It guzzles more fuel than my diesel!”.

European idea of a fuel efficient car (5L/100km):

US idea of a fuel efficient car: (11.2L/100km):

Gentle head scratching.. anyway, because all this puzzled me I was particularly interested in the first US review of my car:

Honda Civic 2.2 i-CTDi Review at Jalopnik

Perhaps the US is ready for a diesel sports compact anyway?
