That sentence sounded a bit odd, but there was a question mark at the end. I wasn't implying that I knew you've never sat in one.

Carburetor? :AH-HA_wink: Except most people don't choose to be fat, a lot do choose to drive a V8 powered vehicle for the image when a Nissan Versa would suit them perfectly fine. GM is simply giving the public what they demand, if they didn't somebody else would (*cough*Toyota*cough*). However, if the government wants to, as Lutz put it, force people into smaller cars, maybe GM should focus more on meeting the new demand, then trying to keep things the way they were. What's GM's excuse for the Chevrolet Aveo being so sub-par? The media can bash them all they want and everyone can claim bias, but the media doesn't make the Toyota Yaris average 35.2 mpg while the Aveo only averages 29.7 mpg. GM needs to stop importing a damn Korean car and rebadging it, they need to build a more-than-competitive Aveo that gets leading fuel economy.

Because of the nature of this site, most people won't even consider them.

1. GMC Acadia 2. Acura MDX 3. Ford Edge

You've never sat in a new Odyssey or used any of the interior features? Go to a dealer and try one out. And just so you know, Honda's fold-flat seats came before Chrysler's Stow-N-Go.

Why include imports?

I'm surprised at the Camry and Kia's position. Seems like the Camry took the most hits for being so numb to drive. Toyota must be targeting the elderly

1. Toyota Prius 2. Pontiac Solstice 3. Chevrolet Corvette 4. Saturn Sky 5. Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 6. Every Pontiac that has ever existed 7. Chevrolet Cobalt 8. Any SS trim vehicle 9. All new Cadillacs 10. Toyota Camry

IS350 is so tiny though.

It is a nice looking SUV overall. Those tail lights caught me off guard though, they're hideous.

The HSC was canceled. Whether or not the next NSX (if this vehicle is even going to be called an NSX) will be FR or MR hasn't been confirmed by anyone. Of course it would make sense to make it FR, that way it could share a platform with a sedan (RL) and maybe other cars in the lineup. That would be the most profitable (or Toyota) way to go, but that doesn't mean it's what Honda is going to do.

I wish they would call it "Whiplash" test, instead of "Rear" crash test, which can be misleading.

Considering this is a sketch, I think it bodes well for the overall shape of the V10 production model. It is hard to tell from the sketch if it will be MR or FR though. I hope it is MR.

So seeing as how Toyota made sure the Tundra was a 2007 model to get the better EPA ratings, will it have a shot for 2008 TOTY? I'm sure winning lots of awards is integral to Toyota's media strategy. I wonder if the Tundra would have won if it was up for the competition this year.... It would have certainly been nice to see a competition between more than one make and its subsidiaries.

Lol. The Sport Trac is all new? Could have fooled me.

They sound like when my lawn mower has trouble starting, both of them.

Yes! No!

You are still comparing test drives, where the RDX is getting beaten on. I've said it before, just because a full-size SUV gets the same mileage in a test drive, doesn't mean it will in real life. Do you think they drove an Escalade or Durango to their limit on a mountain road? Constant acceleration, braking, tires screeching as they carve around tight hair pins. No they wouldn't, because that would be dangerous. Would they with an RDX? Yes, because it is designed to handle it. November sales CR-V 16,242 RAV4 11,425 October sales CR-V 20,413 RAV4 11,154 Edit: And the RAV4 sales include the V6. I wonder what percentage of the total sales is the V6 anyway?

The Vue is also an economy SUV while the RDX is a luxury SUV. Compare the Vue's mileage to the CR-V's mileage, and see how they are the same despite the CR-V having a larger engine. Actually, if you take the manual transmission equipped Vue's out (since the 2wd CR-V only came with an Auto), the Vue gets worse mileage.

Compare the features and you will find that the $44k GS and $41k M35 don't include a lot of features standard on the now $45k RL. Want AWD on either of those? Now you're spending $46k for the GS and $44.5k for the M35. Since the RL is such a dud sales-wise, you can get them for sometimes under 40k before taxes/etc. The RL really is a bargain, although not in a good way for Honda.

That's better than MB's '4matic', which sounds like the name of a 4 speed automatic transmission.

Elaborate please. :AH-HA_wink:

7 years old and still leaving the Solstice/Sky in its dust. Even with the Turbo, the Solstice GXP comes up shy to the S2000's naturally aspirated acceleration. The s2000 is a hand-built, purpose-built, sports car. An old one at that. I hope it doesn't go the way of the NSX. Drag racing? Force-induced engines designed to run for less than 10 seconds at a time in a straight line? That's a far cry from a Formula 1 engine. Racing technology/experience trickles down to production cars. Factory built race engines/cars have everything to do with production cars.

Pretty sure it won't be out soon enough. Come next year, I'm sure it will be in the running.
