These aren’t even true 2 tones, their just black cladding with a black roof, which everyone does already. These are 2 tone

I don’t see a problem with this. I mean Porsche sure has similar design language across all of their vehicle interiors too.

Since most people won’t own both, I don’t see the problem with them being similar.

I think you’re the only person I’ve ever heard mention the Honda Odyssey dune buggy. When I was about 13, my stepdad somehow got a hold of one of these things. It was one of the red second generation ones. It was noisy and unreliable, but when it actually ran it was a hell of a lot of fun. 

The problems started with the 4-speeds transmissions paired with the new J-series V6s in the ‘98 Accords (which also made it to the Odyssey, TL, and CL of that generation before switching to the 5-speed). They were all ticking time bombs.

Let us follow the line of thought though. Americans only buy American built. Canadians only buy Canadian built. Germans buy only German built. And so on. What would happen to the car market when you get rid of the free market and eliminate international trade and competition?

The goal isn’t to help poor people afford cars. The goal is to increase the total amount of electric vehicles on the road and thereby decrease the amount of CO2 emissions.

The 2nd gen Honda Odyssey (2998-2004) was rock solid in every way. Twice I moved cross country and slightly exceeded the 3500 lb tow rating capacity. The first time I pulled 10,800 lb and the second was around 8,500. (I know because I had official weights on both for a military move.) It never whimpered or even…

I mean look at Ford, they pretty much made a Crosstour our of their mustang and people love it. The Crosstour literally was ahead of its time. 

Eh, politicians are much more willing to do something resembling the right thing where there’s no chance of the other party actually benefitting. 

It may be a stretch but I’m going with: Honda’s reputation.

The Crosstour was ahead of its time! It was a bit odd looking, I’ll admit. But CUV-ified Accord would sell like hotcakes today.

The Ridgeline has a very unexpected following, considering how much the car community seems to pick on it as “not a real truck” or whatever. They hold their resale value incredibly well (even by Honda standards, which are already high). The people who have them seem to really love them.

“Spanking” in terms of “being better than,” not in terms of sales. Everybody talks about talks about how great the Ridgeline is to drive compared to basically any pickup truck, but Honda doesn’t seem to eager to say “everybody buying Rangers and Colorados and probably F150s should buy this instead.”

This is probably illogical, but I think the truck is worth at least a mechanical restoration. It would be fun to cruise around in and take to car meets. The engine needs a rebuild whether you want to keep it in California or not. Source a newer bench seat and wiper/washer stalk from a junkyard (ad says both still work)…

Most 70's Japanese cars had a single DIN with the upscale models having a double DIN for the equalizer and or cassette tape player. 

Came here to say this. Looking at you RAM!! The climate control stuff was separate but the auto locks...lights...any settings you might want different between you and your spouse? All buried in the tiny infotainment screen that also refuses to acknowledge cell phone notifications because...reasons? I didn’t need to…

This x1000.

I don’t want to tap through seven menus on a slow moving, half-baked UI to adjust a climate setting. Give me knobs or give me death.

My brother had an F250 that said 4X2..  umm what?

I laughed.
