Came from the Car & Driver review, if I remember correctly.

I’ve wondered this too, and have concluded that it’s a peculiar quirk of human psychology that we can be born (or indoctrinated) into all kinds of objectively loony belief systems.

Personal style choice. :D

He did it. “Doesn’t recall” and “doesn’t believe” aren’t things a person who has, say, never sent an unsolicited d*ck pic says about whether or not he sent a particular unsolicited d*ck pic.

That was what I always thought. Even with women colleague/ friends in a social setting, I just defer to whatever they instigate. Also defer to the weight of the handshake. Some women seem to want the delicate version, but if squeezed, I squeeze back. Never assume a hug.

I’ve read similar things about Porsche dealerships on this site before. Is it really the policy of exclusive dealers of high-end cars to determine who is a serious potential buyer vs. a “kid” looking for a “joyride” by just taking a quick look and insulting anyone who doesn’t smell sufficiently loaded to the sales…

No. Eyeballing someone and deciding to dismiss them as a customer is not justified, period. If the vehicle is so rare / costly / delicate that the dealership needs something special like a credit check, deposit, verification of income, etc. for a test drive, that would be easy enough to explain.

You can understand why people would posture this way, but of course no one takes it literally, because what’s being said is the opposite of what is meant.

NO, this doesn’t even “sound good on paper.” It sounds like another policy designed to

When the waitress at converted gas station restaurant in Cedar Key seemed not to recognize the andouille sausage dish I ordered, I should have known. No telling where they were keeping that sausage, or how long they’d had it. Not only was it the last thing I ate — it felt like the last thing I would *ever* eat.

Looks like a similar design, and also carbon fiber?

Ugly — looks like the blades of a food processor in there.

*Real. Kinja on some kind of nine-second delay this morning.

Wasn’t this Kevin Powell also in the very first season of MTV’s Rea World?

Again, you entitled to your incorrect opinion. If you believe a typical Volkswagen has more “soul” than an S2000 or Integra Type R, that is your right, just as some people believe Justin Bieber has more “soul” than Aretha Franklin. It takes all kinds.

Hey, you are entitled to your opinion, despite the fact it’s demonstrably nonsensical. Particularly if you’re coming from a VW enthusiast perspective, for Pete’s sake. VW has historically been leagues below as Honda as far enthusiast products. The fact that VW has better sporty products today doesn’t erase the…

You know, I drive a VW now instead of a Honda, because of the sad state of affairs Honda now inhabits as far as enthusiast cars go, but if you care or know about cars at all, you know perfectly well this was not always the case.

Legal, yes. But the manufacturer could also put a stop to it, if they wished.

Not going to work if people don’t buy them, or if it damages Honda’s brand and kills the “Type R” mystique along the way, is the point.

Which is exactly why Honda shouldn’t allow this type of thing. If it’s a questionably cool car at $30k, it’s going to be a laughingstock as a $50,000 car or whatever. And this is no Integra Type R; there are plenty of other spicy, sharp-handling compacts on the market this time around, so history and the car critics…
