For the most part, my 2010 EX-L is exactly the same as our 2009. I noticed something today, and I'm not sure what to make of it. The carpet in the rear cargo area does not appear to lay correctly. It is bunched up around the corners toward the inside of the curves. I cannot remember if my 2009 looked like this, or if this is something wrong with the 2010. It also looked like the carpet at the bottom of the cargo area did not lay as flat as it should.

Is it just me, or does this seem strange? I thought the carpet in our 09 was flat all around the cargo area, with no bunches anywhere.

Thanks

Numerous other threads/posts commenting on the build quality decline on newer models.

The assembly quality of my '10 seems to be about the same as that of my '05. Aside from being mis-aligned, I've found two minor interior defects, both of which can be easily rectified.

However, the overall quality of the '10 seems better - it's quieter and seems more substantial.
