in the most round about way your saying a honda is slow and has no performance......

read what you just said.

Well I was agreeing with part of what Spanish said, and that I choose my car on things other than those. Such as speed, power, quickness etc...

Slow is relative, also honda includes a wide variety of vehicles. But for the most part, a car such as mine (stock) is faster than most (stock) hondas.

I never said hondas have no performance.

What i am saying overall is thats a ricer comment (spanishes) and why bother whining about dicplacement to use as a performance crutch.

Like Toyotas biodegradable truck line.. lol.

Again I've owned a gas 2002 Ford F150, gas 2007 Chevy Silverado, 2007 Duramax and now a 2008 Tundra, i'll take my new tundra over anyone of those.. I am more than happy with this one and it's lasted longer in the 7 months I've had it then the other ones did.

Again, you must not be aware of Toyotas rusty frame issues and their buyback/crush program. 7 whole months? lol... :icon_scratch:

No thanks I will keep my 250 v-10 that has never had a single issue since the day I bought it. Last oil change was longer ago than you have owned a truck.

I like the one commercial, where they brag about copying everyone else's advancements and sticking them into their vehicles.. and how they try to make people feel unamerican by buying "imports", when they are the one's that outsource everything and giving american jobs to people in other countries while most import companies build plants here and hire american workers...

My favorites were the commercials a bit ago where one of them said that they were now as reliable as one of the foreign automakers. Good Ad campaign to let everyone know you finally caught up. Or the others where the only advertise how many miles per tank the car gets, and don't say anything about MPG.

This video was pretty funny tho, he could not look any more stereotypically hillbilly with his spelling and puncuation.

Remember everyone, we better support the american car makers, since we all own them now....

11 mpg no matter what. Pulling a trailer, highway or in town... its predictable.
I get a decent discount on gas and 1 major breakdown like Toyotas have every year costs more than my lower mileage.
You have to look at the bigger picture.

[63vette]

At 10,000 miles per year, gas avg price = $2.25 p/gal; my cost is still only $2,000 per year where at 22mpg you spend $1,000.
One major repair on your Toyota and its a tie. Mines gone 3 years now without a dime in repair or service so you have 3 more years of zero failure then we can discuss this again.

On the other hand, going out to eat out once a week at 30 bucks per couple comes to $1,560. So if you are really trying to save money dont eat out.

3000 mile oil changes are a scam.. fact.
I do my own service since I dont want some 19 year old fresh out of tech school touching my vehicles.

Its a fun thread anyway... stir away Bill.
