Having just traveled 200+ miles in two 06 Civics, non hybrid, I and sort of neutral in whether I wouldlike the new one better. I like gadgets such as XM radio (an add on for 06) and the Nav system. I think I will wait and see. Can always sell my 05 for good price. I know that things were changed on the 03 HCH and they will probably do the same for the 07 vs 06.
