Had to check the calendar — thought it must be the first of April.

Seriously, I mean no offense, but go fuck yourself, you fucking troll. I went through 7 quality Hondas over the past 36 years and one with transmission problems that I paid no money to fix. The last 80,000 miles on the Odyssey with the last transmission were completely trouble-free. And how do you flex a uni-body…

I don't know how your reply relates to my comment, except as a comment on reliability, but, yes, Hondas are reliable. Are they perfect? Of course not. When I traded in my Odyssey, it was on its fourth transmission. My cost to replace the transmission 3 times? $0. Honda obviously made a design and/or manufacturing…

Congratulations for exposing the fact that a solid half of your readership doesn't have a clue what "poseur" means or actually reads beyond the headline.

I've never spent $37K for a car, but if I ever do it sure won't be for some Frankenstein car. I don't really like Corvettes all that much but I'd buy $37K worth of any Vette ever made (except a rubber-bumpered C3—hideous) before I bought this. Hell, I'd buy $37K worth of (unmodified) Pontiac Fieros before this. Major…

"Reliability is a myth. Who owns a car and how it is maintained is what keeps cars alive."

Waaaah!!! Poor little buyers of $90K+ cars didn't get all the toys! I feel so very sorry for them!

Breathtakingly hideous.

The Topaz gets pulled over a lot because there are parts falling off it all the time. Cops get the drivers for littering if not operating an unsafe vehicle.

I absolutely love my '07 CR-V, bought used a couple years ago, although that may largely be due to having been stuck driving a Honda Odyssey for 12 years. If you want spirited driving performance, look elsewhere, but it's a very comfortable, reliable car.

I used to love it when some guy in a nice car would try to force his way in front of me when I was driving my battered 12-year old minivan. I'm holding my ground — if you want to run into me, have at it.

This ^. The C3 needs to be divided into pre- and post-vinyl bumpers. The C3 with the chrome bumpers was my childhood dream car. The ones with the vinyl bumpers were absolutely hideous (speaking only of looks — I've never even sat in a Corvette, never mind driven one).

Two-spaces guy, hands down.

Looking again, I think you're right. Struck me as round on first watch but they definitely look more like a Nova's. Same vintage, though.

Could have sworn I saw a '62 Ford Falcon in the middle of that mess.

Me likey.

"The pace car has gone a lap down!" Love it.

Doesn't get any crackpipier than this.

Is this a clip from the latest Final Destination movie?
