Find Honda Dealers in Mexico, New York

I would not have thought to even consider a Chevrolet Malibu, but the news all over the internet was amazingly positive. With Detroit suffering and the global financial markets so dangerous, parts and costs from overseas may not remain stable in the future. And then I know it may sound irrelevant, but I decided to support a USA company... and really from my own logic. Decisions made on patriotic feelings are generally good decisions. But, CR-V is assembled here in the US by US workers, while I can't speak for Malibu in particular, but a lot of GM (insert Ford, Chrysler... here) products/components are either coming from Korea, China, or Mexico. So, yes, you are supporting the fat cats in the executive offices in Detroit who ran these companies into the ground, and then shipped the jobs elsewhere, because they made decisions that turned buyers away from their products. I agree that Malibu is nice, but from what I understand it is just an Opel underneath, just like Saturn Aura.

I have to disagree there. I bought the Gentex auto dimming mirror with compass and temperature for my 2003. When I am out in the boonies, the compass is actually very useful if the sun is not out. I used it extensively when navigating back roads in the New Mexico desert last year. I have a Gentex from Bravada that I bought on ebay for $30. The compas only gives you N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW, hardly useful for any navigation. If I need the true heading I have a radar detector with built in compass and a Delorme GPS plugged into a laptop. The Radar/Compas has to be calibrated once a year. It reports heading in degrees, which is more useful for navigation. Even right after calibration, the Magentic North is about 15° off the Geographical North reported by GPS. So you always have to decide what the cartographer had in mind.

"The CR-V already has a temperature gauge in the gauge cluster, no reason to buy an auto diming mirror with temp. Compas is useless in those things." I have to disagree there.
