I'm a little sad about this - the planned Honda looked nice, the range would have been fine for us (we usually take our pickup on longer road trips anyway), and I was hoping to replace our Mazda 3 with one if it drove nicely and all that. I admit that I had some concerns about the GM underpinnings, though - my experience with American brands is rough, and our experience with GM is the roughest.

We plan to hit the auto shows next year to get an idea of what we want to look at more closely.

GM had their chances with us. My wife and I each brought a GM into the relationship; they both developed serious transmission problems - among other random issues...and both had much less than 100k miles. They need to show years of reliability before I'd buy another one.
