Is it just me, or are there an awful lot of Cars of the Year these days? Oh, well – here’s the latest.

American Honda Motor announced the award of the 57th Motor Trend COTY to its redesigned Civic today. The award covers
the entire Civc sedan and coupe lineup, including the Civic Hybrid and the Civic Si.

The Civic topped a record list of 28 new or substantially revised models to capture the award. MT staffers cited the
Civic’s exceptional value, superiority in its class and the most significant development on the new-car scene for
2006.
