the average age of Honda vehicles in Europe, and especially Britain has been terrifyingly high...
A Honda driver becomes labeled as someone who puts everything aside and puts reliability as the one and only trait they look for in a vehicle.
theoretically the new swanky European Civic could make a difference, but what the Civic is to the ricers here, Citroen's C1 plays that role in Europe.

What's more, European countries sometimes subisidize their own home-market brands and do not exactly encourage the sale of Japanese-nameplate cars.
Old Civic sold 4x less than Corolla in 2005 in Europe. Now they are trying more premium approach and pricing is similar to A3. It seems like it is working so far...
