Believe me, if america were a real first world country with decent public transit, I'd have no car at all. It'd be glorious.

 

Sweet! O2 sensor is ez pz. =)

Yeah the issue with the public trans is we are such a LARGE country. Plus infrastructure just isnt there.

I'd say places like SF and NY have pretty good public trans, especially due to their rail systems.

Here in SD...its getting better, but still our city is so spread out that it still isnt very good even with all the improvements. Our rail system only goes North/South on one line and very limited East/West line. So unless you gotta go somewhere along the route...its not really advantageous. Ride share bikes and lyft/ubers are making it better though for sure.

So
Happy
Its
Thursday

=)

 

Agree shinjari!

When the government does step up and spend money on more public transport, it's often wasted money anyway due to lack of use. There simply is not a high demand. FL's system is almost unused and GA's system hasn't been expanded because of lack of use.

Improving roads seems to be a better use of current funds.

 

regardless of public trans i’d still own multiple cars cause i like playing with them.

so, fit sales are getting raped by the kia soul sales (2x the volume) mexicans don’t even want GK in mexico! lol. sales are waaay down. accord is not selling well in the usa either.

 

but the other cars are doing wlll for honda. ironically the ILX.. wtf? they must be giving them fugly sillys away. or pushing them all into canada..

 

Accord is a great car....Camry is just out selling since Toyota is giving great incentives for them whereas Honda isn't.

Kia Soul is a pretty cool/functional hamster mobile. Hard to beat the 100k warranty and functionality of the darn thing. Buddy has one and its pretty neat. Never drove it but I'm sure for Mrs. Kenchan or other A-B dont care what I drive type of drivers, its a great deal.

 

I was truly impressed when I test drove a 2.0 Touring Accord. It was very nice! 2.0T and 10-speed auto work great and the interior is vastly improved.

Wish they would pair the manual with Touring model, but that's not Honda's way. They see sport and luxury as two different customers. Leaves me out.

 

Its a US thing...if I was in Canada, besides the free health care I could've gotten the Civic Hatch Sport Touring with a manual trans. Alas...our market is very anti-manual trans =(

 

Technically it's a Honda of America thing. They spec and choose our product offerings. Including the bland color choices.

Honda of Canada seems to take more risks.

Could be worse...Honda could have Toyota's system of only selling through a distributor. Toyota SE has kept me from buying Toyota's for years. They are dishonest in the way they add crap to window stickers and gouge consumers.

 

If we had even marginal public transport, I'd just have the S2000. Wouldn't need anything for daily transportation. TFW metro area of a million people doesn't even have a elevated train system.

 

the sad is camrys are not profitable for toyota. i read that their last plant manger stated toyota japan can build the camry in jland, ship it to america and still be more profitable. wtf mang.

no kias on my driveway mang. no way.

 

my son can’t even convince me with allowing him to park a brz on the driveway. lol. my wife even asked even if she paid for the car entirely. no way mang.

 

considering that we all wonder why a faking GK is still sitting on my driveway. well, that is a different story so..

 

Still find a BRZ a ballsy move for a 1st car. May be slow for your current standards, but for a new driver 200hp is plenty. But to each their own...as long as you raise well mannered people haha.

Ever since my GF got her Hyundai it has changed my previously negative perception of Hyundai/Kia. If I wasn't such a Honda junkie I'd look at a Genesis sedan or that new Stinger...I like their line up and reliability.

 

My Dad's Kia was one of the most reliable cars my family has owned. I'm still not a fan, but it changed my overall opinion from "junk" to "reliable, but not fun."

The Kia Stinger could change that opinion.

There's something too hipster about the BRZ for me. That says a lot considering I'd own a CTR.

 

shinjari - he’s a good kid. just has bad taste in cars. lol.

 

gafit- at least the ctr can churn numbers that match its appearance on a dry warm day i suppose. . well, i expected it to fly into space too but..

 

So true! Maybe transform or something also? Maybe put on some kind of anime show?

 

Yeah the CTR and all its lines/vents/etc reminds me a bit of Gundam models haha. Granted my Sport Hatch basically has the same lines and 'grills' as the CTR....just dont have the front fender vent and the hood scoop.

Yeah that is an accurate description of a KIA/Hyundai....reliable and functional....albeit NOT fun at all to drive haha.

 

If Maytag built cars they would be KIA/Hyundai's. They truly are 4 wheeled appliances. They are trying harder these days. Not there yet but one day they will build a car I'd want. ;-)
