"The reduction of Honda sales for the month mainly reflected the fact that Canadians are awaiting the arrival of the all-new Canadian-built 2012 Civic coming in late April," added Mr. Chenkin. "We expect to see a strong sales surge as we enter the spring and summer selling seasons."

A couple more pictures from a dealership of the recently arrived 2012 Honda Civic. Not much exciting to see, more of a "taller" modern version of the 2011 Honda Civic. The interior remains on par with most existing Honda products.
Honda Division posted February sales of 87,263, an increase of 21.7 percent compared to February 2010, with sales of light trucks increasing 31.8 percent to 39,923.

"The versatile, efficient and capable CR-V continues to solidify its position as the best-selling SUV in America by setting a new monthly record."

Above stat graph from http://karakullake.blogspot.com/2011/03/jalopniks-new-format-design.html but looking at Alexa, http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/jalopnik.com pageviews are down 25% in the last 3 months.
Someone named Matt, who doesn't have an email on his blogger profile (so responding directly is not possible) and doesn't indicate if he has any affiliation with Jalopnik, left the follwing comment on this post
As it should be clear, sitemeter was pulled from the sites because it wasn't functioning. This has been widely discussed and explained. A simple look at individual post pageviews on the site would indicate this is so. Thanks for your concern, though.
Ok, you refer to plural number of places sitemeter was pulled from, Why?
Further, what correlation is there that Alexa (2nd source, you know, responsible journalism standard practive) also has Jalopnik's pageviews down 25%, and I link to their site page about 3 inches about this sentance, not hard to see what they have to say.
Oh, I'm not concerned, I'm reporting this fact as news, not concern. My stats are steadily growing like mad, and I'm guessing it's for many reasons, and only one of them is that Jalopnik has lost viewers that like my simple, easy, with no advertising format instead. Huh.
Macintosh, Granny, and Red Delicious.
How ya like them apples?
