what do think of new "BMW Look" Hondas?

i like the sharp edgey look.

creased & crisp, with a high beltline.

every diesel prices go up, i want one more.


have you seen the Z06 rims on the Acura sedan?

isn't the Acura the highdollar honda? or is it the fancy 'Yota?

I like them. Hondas are great. I have a 93 Accord. I want a new diesel Accord though, as long as the MPG is there.

Mazda = Ford. Does Ford still own Mazda or did they sell it to TATA Motors in India?
They sold or are selling Jag and was the other one Range Rover to TATA motors?
I never put the Mazda Ford connection together until I was looking at a Ford Ranger beside a Mazda pick up.

Having owned an infiniti I can assure you that it is a Nissan.
Will take Infiniti products over any domestic luxury car any time.
I am temporarily back to a Nissan, but will soon move back to an Infiniti.

so a high-end Yugo would have concrete lining for sound dampening?

i mean really, why doesn't Yugo get a fancy hood ornament, and have a go of it?

my wife worked at a 'Yota dealership for years, and there was no Lexus dealer in Omaha, and people REFUSED to have their lexus worked on by the lowly 'Yota mechanics.

the 'yota mechanics said the motors & parts all had TOYOTA wrote all over, but had sound dampening panels on them that said Lexus.

those will be the first things thrown away by a shade tree mechanic: 'what in the *&(*(*& is this doing in here?"

girl at work has an infinity, it HAS to run super, or it runs like crap.
it's killing her on gas, but it's paid (see the "young men..." post)
