An interesting Forbes article that was on reddit.com today:

Did you know that Honda has never had an unprofitable year and has never had layoffs? Or that they studied cockroaches for accident avoidance?

This, in part, is because Honda is run by engineers instead of corporate flacks.

Engineers Rule - Forbes.com

(And they mention the Fit, so hopefully this is still forum appropriate)

 

Now if they could only find better designers. (At least for the Acrua division)

 

Another reason why

 

great read thanks for posting!

 

what's wrong with the acura designing? next to mercedes, i think acura is right up there (at least the TL)

 

Honda FTMFW!

 

Another thing I thought was so awesome was that Honda is interested in nearly all of the alternative fuel technologies, instead of gambling on just one like the Americans.

I can't wait for whatever else they've got coming; by the time I'm ready for something other than the GE8 I'm sure they'll have something amazing on the market, like the hybrid CR-X concept. I could settle for that

 

Honda is the thinking-man's car manufacturer of choice. Honda is hip, hippie-ish, with an enthusiasm to learn and innovate like none other and have vehicles that run the gamut of price ranges from poor college kid (Fit) to rich CEO guy (NSX or TL/RL fully loaded lol)

 

I wish I was a poor college kid. Again.

 

me too lol ;/

 

..if i only knew then what i know now lol

 

yea I'm about to start college again next year hahah at least I'll be wiser and have crazy sea stories to tell and buy alcohol for underage college chicks ;D
