They relaunched the civic due to poor aesthetic design and sales, not quality
All manufacturers are localized to their market. A honda has the same if not more American made parts than GM at this point
You're paying for Japanese engineering, not manufacturing. Big big difference between the way the Japanese design parts and the way Americans design parts. Japanese are way more conservative and resistant to change
Not saying the Americans don't design good products (see GM magnetic suspension). The Japanese simply is better at designing for reliability

@avthegod YEP, I HAVE A WARRANTY.
AND IN REGARDS TO RELIABILITY, MY 2004 TAHOE WAS A BEAST! I HAD IT FOR 3 YRS(PURCHASED IT IN 2012) AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES! I NEVER EVEN GOT A BRAKE JOB ON IT IN 3 YRS. THE ONLY WORK THAT HAD TO BE DONE WAS 1 OF THE ABS HUB SENSORS WENT OUT... OTHER THAN THAT, I HAD ZERO ISSUES. NEVER ANY DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS, NO LEAKS, NO WEIRD NOISES.... LIKE YOU SAID, AS LONG AS YOU TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERLY, YOU WILL HAVE NO ISSUES.

Yes and no
Some of us get lucky with cars with no issues while some have the same car and have absolutely every issue under the sun

Updates on our track car build. Decided to make it a full track car. If yall remember when we got it last year it was completely stock with 40k miles. Got it down to 2,860lbs, added aero, and Hoosier slicks. It feels ridiculous now. Im interested to see what it can run at Sonoma now. Last time out before the aero/weight reduction/slicks it was running 1:55

Stay away from Dodge/Chrysler. Not only have their brands been listed on most reports as the most unreliable car brands, but I have multiple friends who had recent Dodge/Chrysler cars. EVERY single one of them started to have major issues after 60K. It was a nightmare for them. Needless to say, they traded them in for Japanese cars and haven't looked back since.

No mater how much Hondas quality dips it will always be superior to an American car regardless how how many times one of their car gets "relaunched".
Yeah, Toyota also has plants in Mexico, England, Argentina, France, etc. What's your point.
It's Japanese tech at car plants that have much higher standards for building cars than American car companies.
My statement holds true.

Japanese cars definitely still the goat of reliability and maintenance cost.

I really wanted the San Marino blue but there was only like 2 in the whole nation for sale when I was looking. The parts I ordered were vorsteiner so it should make the rear super aggressive

Yeah they are stock 18s. It is the "smokey mountain" edition. I had them take the decals off when i bought it 
i like the wheels but im prob going to get 17s or maybe 18s with a higher offset and 33s and a minor ~1" lift.
