It looks like GM is finding a clever way to unload inventory of its gas guzzlers.  GM is providing subsidies for the cost of gas for select vehicles by capping the prize of gas for one year at 1.99/gallon in the states of California and Florida.  Thomas Friedman recently called out the goverment and major US car companies to push for more fuel efficient cars, rather than offering subsidies.  I’d agree but ……

From 1973 to 2006, there have been fifty-six (56) Honda Civic recalls.
In one case, for example, Honda Civic recalls were so vital that they were made based on two deaths due to a faulty defibrillator.  In 1973, the two recalls for suspension and for the hazards flashing warning light switch.  In 1974, the seatbelts and the suspension made for recalls, and in 1975, the latter problem in addition to the engine cooling exhaust system (the manifold, header, muffler, and tail pipe) were cause for the Honda Civic recalls for the 75 Civics.
