That's absolutely horrible.

That'S what they should be selling:



I could deal with this. As soon as Honda's "high" wears off, maybe they'll start considering bringing over some of the Euro designs instead of feeding us all of this weird shit they've been giving us the past couple of years.

Isn't that just an Acura design reskinned in a Honda form?

As cool as the new Honda Accord is (I really like it too), I hardly see them on the road here. VW Passats, Citroen C5s, Renault Lagunas etc. are all common place but the new and sexy Honda Accord? It's like an exotic.

Unfortunately, we don't get it with the delete grill option.  The Euro gril looks so much better on it.

Yes, yes it does. It looks like a robot now. Not as much as the TL, but it's inching its way to it.

Strange.  It's reasonably popular here.  The old one was pretty popular.

Before I left the UK I've noticed that a large portion of Brits were becoming "more American" with their car-buying mentality. I mean Lexus does relatively well in the UK (only in the major cities I believe) and Japanese mainstreamers like the Honda Accord and Toyota Avensis seemed more popular there than on continental Europe. It's an observation on my part - doesn't have to mean anything.

Well, we barely have a car industry here.  Maybe you could say it's more a "level playing field" here.  We have few domestic makers to be biased towards!

If what I read on UK message boards is true, the Koreans have been doing very well since the scrappage scheme began earlier this year.  How about it, Nick?  Are UK roads now clogged with "sh1tb0x" Kia Picantos and Hyundai i10s like I have been lead to believe?

Apparently the Crosstour is getting slammed in the Facebook group Honda started for it.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

Not really, no.  The Fiesta is the most popular small car at the moment.

And the i10 is hardly a shitbox!

I put "shitbox" in quotes because that's how a lot of people on the UK forums I visit describe it.  Yeah, the Fiesta is probably the best small car going right now.  No surprise it's doing very well.  Maybe I'll finally get to see one when Ford finally gets off their arse and brings it over here.

BTW, I was just reading about Hyundai overtaking Ford as Britain's number one retail car brand.  To (mis)quote John Lennon, we live in strange days, indeed!

Geez, whatever happened to cleanly styled Acuras like the Legend Coupe or even more recently the RSX?!

I guess I'm biased, but I think the 2004-08 TL is the 2nd-most attractive Acura ever. I miss mine whenever I see one of the new monstrosities drive by.
