new Daewoo Nubira
I have seen the $16K Ford Focus wagon and I am a believer but I am a poor believer so I will stick to used Metros for the time being.

used...Datsun 510
used...Toyota Corona
I also noticed the new Daewoo Nubira is available as a 4-door hatchback. There is only one 5-speed available in Ohio, it is white, and it is in Cleveland. There is only one 5-speed wagon in the USA, in San Diego. All of them are sold already. I guess the Daewoo isn't so bad from some standpoints...the reverse ring on the shifter however is a throwback to the days of the Chevette. The 4-door hatchback has no trunk release however the 4-door sedan does. Go figure. The Nubira has a $1250 rebate on automatics and $1500 on 5-speeds. The Lanos has a rebate of $1000 and the Leganza is also discounted. $11,360 for a Lanos hatchback, with AC, with 5-speed, with all the standard equipment (PW, PDL, cass, delay wipers, rear wiper, power steering) is a good deal since a similarly equipped Chevy Metro LSi (without power steering, windows, or locks) is about $12,200. And the Lanos is $10,360 after the rebate.
I can't believe the dealer took it's Nubira CDX's and put Gold Grills on them for $379 each. Sick.

I have read on the Internet, that Honda will not make Civic Hatchback's in 2001. Is this true? Also, does anyone know how to e-mail Honda. I want to suggest that they return to making station wagons instead of the more cumbersome CRV?
If you get a response regarding the future of Honda hatchbacks, please let us know. Thanks!

Checking the list showed me that some have the similar problems. Could anyone put remarks on this?
