But what's the MPGs?

The Forester is struggling but it still gets up the road. Let's see the BMW try with the same tires. Bet it wouldn't make it past the truck.

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.
