USA Today: Is new Honda Civic as bad as 'Consumer Reports' says?

What a surprise: After years of treating it as a darling, Consumer Reports called the redesigned 2012 Honda Civic "mediocre" and dropped it from CR's "recommended" status. The magazine rated it second from the bottom in the September issue's listing of all the cars in the compact segment.The blow comes at a tough time for Honda, which plans a new marketing campaign this fall to relaunch the car.
