im my class said this: "i dont care what anyone says, hondas are the best!" :blink:

In a case like this, it is appropriate to smack her silly.

Oh, that's nothing. I was waiting to get my hair cut last summer when a woman sitting in the chair was talking to the hair stylist about how "those Honda Prius hybrid cars run on electricity and can get up to 100 mpg, I hear." Then she went on a five minute rant about how American cars are all gas guzzlers and are the source of all our oil problems. I really wanted to comment, but I just shook my head and kept reading my magazine.

call me dumb but i thought toyota made the pirus?

Some of these people.. Priuses are terrible. Good mpg, yes, but how much do you have to spend (and how much time is wasted waiting) for a battery? Or a "simple" electrical repair? And how dangerous is it to play with the electrical stuff on the car? Take all that into consideration and tell me again if the Prius is worth owning. Hell no.

lmao, better than the new generation of kids, i was on the bus listening to these guys in my school talking about this "sick 94 civic" and how he test drove one and it was as fast as hell... I felt like telling him my granny car can outrun his ass...

Or how about my ex-best friend who test drove a V6 Mustang with GT badges and thought it was a V8 and it would kill my car. Until the dude told him it was a stock V6 without mods except the GT badges.

This guy who drives a Honda Passport said my car has lousy reliability and he's glad he bought a Honda. :rolleyes:

.... at taking away American jobs?
.....lawnmowers?
.....cars for idiots who know nothing about cars?

Um... if that girl were talking about Honda ATVs... she's right. :D Otherwise... well, she needs to explain first and then say that. :lol: :P

I have dealt with that too but this person was talking up Toyota and how perfect they are. Another wanted a Honda Civic and said that Camaros dont handle worth crap and are overweight. Tell you what, I will take a Camaro over a damn Civic. At least the Camaro is the genuine article. For people that complain about the Equinoxes old pushrod engine, it has something the Toyotas and Hondas lack and may never know. Torque. You dont need to rev it to 6000 RPMs to make it accelarate.

3300 lbs is too much?

Share with her this age old advice "when in doubt, SHUT UP!" OR, also appropriate, "don't believe everything you think"

I go off on these people. I cant hold my self back. The prius thing i tell them that 15 MPG less will be better for the earth then the battery acid that will leak into the ground and go to the oceans and kill baby whales. really i do say that.
