Honda is listening to its critics, but they're not taking negative reviews lying down. When fans of the long running Honda Civic started blogging about their unhappiness with the updated sedan, the Japanese auto maker decided to fix its issues.

Honda is so confident that their upcoming Civic redo for 2013 (due out later in 2012) will be popular, they're predicting a sales increase of 24% in the new year. Nalley Honda Brunswick - 178 Altama Connector in Brunswick, GA 31525 will be one of hundreds of dealers showing off the latest Civic models.

Civic "upgrades" will include better interior quality and noise reduction during travel. These were key reasons Civic failed to receive a "recommended" status from Consumer Reports magazine this past year.

"Building a good car isn't enough for us, we have to build a great car," John Mendel, Honda's executive vice president of sales in the US, said. "We think we can do better and the customer expects that and we will."¹

Honda set a US sales target increase of 1.25 million next year, up from about 1 million this year.
