Re: We lost our Top Safety Pick rating.
From cnn:
Also, vehicles must be available with electronic stability control, at least as an option, to earn the award.
For that reason, five vehicles - the Ford Five Hundred, Mercury Montego, Subaru Impreza, Saab 9-2X and Honda Civic - that won the top award last year were dropped from the list this year.
ESC is available on one version of the Honda Civic, the Civic Si, but that version did not do well enough in whiplash protection to earn top marks.
Electronic stability control, or ESC, helps drivers maintain control during abrupt emergency maneuvers. According to crash statistics gathered by the Insurance Institute and the government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, ESC could prevent more than 10,000 deaths annually if it were installed on every vehicle in the U.S.

Re: We lost our Top Safety Pick rating.
It should not be a very hard thing for the marketing heads @ NA Honda to accommodate. The european version of the HCH-2 has ESC so it is not a technical challenge at all.
