YES. That rear three-quarter view made me think of the Pontiac Sunfire... even worse than a Saturn. I really thought Honda was getting its act together design-wise. The new Accords are simple and handsome. Uh, OK maybe that's the only example of good Honda design I can come up with. Yup, that's it.

The bow tie is, without a doubt, the most uncool, unsexy, unattractive automotive logo used today. It cheapens every design it is affixed to. Its clashing gold and silver colors are an affront to anyone with a basic appreciation of style or fashion. In other words, I really, really dislike this logo.

The 1992 Toyota Camry was the first GOOD car I ever drove, and it cemented my opinion that American cars were shit, and GM/Ford/Chrysler were basically punking America. The Camry was my aunt's, and I remember just how polished, smooth and refined it was compared to my mom's clunky, junky Oldsmobile Cutlass station

I was about to post this. Only difference is I'm pretty sure SoCo was in on the joke, while LiMoCo just became one.

They have nothing to retract. At the very minimum, Manti lied about having met the girl in person, and greatly exaggerated his relationship with a woman he never actually met in order to milk the positive publicity he was receiving.

Actually, I'm almost certain Oprah does not pay for interviews, at least not when she had her show. Perhaps her policy has changed at the network.

This has absolutely NOT been addressed, and is the cause of much of the suspicion toward Manti. Who was he speaking to on the phone? Or was he lying about having phone conversations? Did he really meet a girl in person, or is he lying about that? Those are the big questions.

Nissan had to stop making passengers cars at this plant because... sorry, but this is true... the employees they were able to find in Mississippi were untrainable, unable to reach a functional level where they could make modern passenger cars at an acceptable quality levels. This is a state-of-the-art plant and

There are millions of Chinese people living in the US, a sizeable fraction of whom are completely fluent in American English, and yet they didn't bother to hire anyone to read this stuff? Does not bode well for their future here if they can't take simple steps like that to understand the market. Shows you how

It's vertical for when you forget to hold the smartphone horizontally when taking a video. (Which happens all too often.)

... said no one ever. Have you driven an Infiniti in the past 5 years? Extremely solid cars, RWD (except for that crossover thing), big engines, sleek designs, nice interiors, good technology. I'm a BMW guy but of the Japanese luxury brands, Infiniti is the most driver-friendly and hasn't (yet) succumbed to stupid

Jimmy's not doing a very good job of curating their Tweets. This one just showed up on their website, steerthescript.com: @LeoParente: Only thing that sucks more than #SteerTheScript is launching a Luxury Car brand with no luxury car. Lincoln Mtr Co. -The Merkur of 2013.

I like it a LOT better than the 3-series sedan. I have lusted after every new 3-series for the past 3 generations (and have owned the past 2 generations of sedans and the current 3 coupe), but I still can't stand the pinched, droopy face of the new sedan. It just looks contrived. But they've managed to make it look

I think most people here want to like Honda and Acura. They made truly impressive, attractive, high-quality vehicles for many years. And then they got lost and starting sucking.

Yes. An extremely handsome car. Hyundai is doing everything right these days, while Honda is doing everything wrong.

Acura: "We made the Legend, then decided to stop trying." This is a seriously disappointing, unstylish, generic car. A bunch of dumb LED headlights cannot make up for a total lack of design direction. Do you really think the interior looks like a luxury car interior? Because in your photos it looks seriously

I don't think the limitations of the technology are what is really bothering people here; it's Tesla's response and blaming their most loyal, early-adopter customers for a problem that wasn't clearly communicated with a technology that people aren't that familiar with.

Everything you have said here is SPOT ON. If this is how Tesla treats its early adopters and most rabid fans, then one can only shudder to think how they'll treat their broader consumer base (assuming they ever get one, which is seeming less and less likely.)

As a naive young USC student from a small town, I quickly began referring to the BMW 3-series as the Honda Accord of USC students... it was like EVERYONE had them. I had come from a town where Pontiac Grand Ams and Ford Mustangs were prized posessions, so this was quite a shock. But I adapted just as soon as I could

That statement from Tesla is a real gem of PR bullshit. They seem really intent on downplaying the risk that the battery will fail and of trying to dumb down the issue to being similar to changing a combustion engine's oil. "All batteries are subject to damage if the charge is kept at zero for long periods of time."
