You just linked me my source? Ok then. Let me tell you how this works since I've used it for years. The auto companies only need to report where the majority of the car's content comes from. Say a vehicle has 60% content from 2 separate countries. A theoretical 42% is supplied from USA content and 18% is supplied from…

Many didn't use Takata. Others use more average quality suppliers, not the cheapest possibly available. To add context, Toyota uses an average of about 10% Chinese content, Hyundai/ Kia uses about 5% (most from Korea), Nissan uses an average of about 15% excluding Infiniti, and GM and Ford both use about 20%- 25%…

It IS different from many companies. A great example (of many) is the Takata recall. Those were the cheapest safety suppliers available at the time. Notice who used them. Part of economics in a proper business model is knowing that if you provide a good product, people will react. This assumes there is no bias. Honda…

I'm negative toward them in a logical way. Do you want me to explain what they did to some of my family and friends, and where they source most of their parts from? A hint is that it's from the cheapest possible suppliers on Earth. I could also tell you about the absolute weasel assholes that run Honda North America…

So, a company that sticks to using the same suspensions and engine tech for 20 years on the majority of their products are some of the most technologically advanced cars? No. The only reason they are reliable is their use of relatively simple and proven tech.

You seem to be defending Honda in an unhealthy way. There is still no excuse for the shortcomings. Honda has become careless about product integrity. They cut corners not because it translates into cheaper ownership, but because they try to squeeze every cent out of their mass-produced production; they even do it if…

Talladega Nights...

The fact that you take it in a literal sense is truly convincing.

There is plenty of plausible variation left to design a vehicle many ways and still meet the target Cd numbers.

This reply only proves who the real idiot is here. A person who attempts to make a comment about something they don't even know about; this is you.

Yeah, because I'm a "racist?" I'd bet money I'm less of one than you ever were.

The whole point behind it is to gain investors and support for the technology. It's just the same as Tesla showing concepts or any other concept.

Most people on here understand everything about this, but it doesn't excuse any of the materials and styling elements that are heavily outclassed by older competitors. This thing hasn't even been on sale yet other than as an MDX. Modern Hondas are literally made for high profit-margins. They are over-priced and fully…

This just creates additional lack of symmetry thus, technically, making it a less appealing design.

Oh yeah, you surely know who I am from one comment. Say it slowly with me; it's only "racist" if you make it "racist." Now read this over and over until you comprehend the implication. And yes, you are a hypocrite for crying racism at a non-racist reference joke.

Annnnnddd it looks dated in

The Acura version is already being sold under the MDX name.

Put simply, vaporware refers to mainstream products which are intended to be for released for purchasing to the public. The vehicles they have shown are not intended to be released and haven't been claimed as such. An unannounced variation will come some day far off. You were initially talking about the powertrain and…

What's next? Is Audi coming out with AMD-named vehicles?

Vaporware is the wrong word. It's a vehicle. What can't you get about how "flow cell batteries are already proven...?" They are proven to chemically function (in reality). What this company is trying to prove is its viability for vehicular use. Their goal is to somehow make the system reliable. They may be hoping to…
