You have to know that stating OPINION does not equal fact. If you want to push your opinion as fact then you have to do so (and support your OPINIONS with support / corroboration / veracity). At this time just stating an accusatory opinion with no support is a waste of everyone's time. I have posted up the backup for my side yet see nothing from you.
I again hit back to you to PROVE IT. In fact your irrelevant shot at the v6 transmission failure when you were saying Honda engines are behind Toyotas just shows the grasping you have to do.
How many times do I have to prove it to you? Lets see.
Toyotas mainstream V6 (Camry) is better than Hondas mainstream V6 (Accord, TL)
Toyotas premium V6 (IS350, GS350) is better than Hondas preimum V6 (RL, TL-S)
Toyota has V8 engines, Honda doesn't. Honda used to make ridiculous claims that they don't need a V8, that they can produce V6 engines that are more powerful than their competitions V8 engines. But as it stands now, Honda's V6 engines fell miserably behind competitions V6 engines.
Toyota has a wide variery of Hybrids, with a V8 Hybrid coming soon. Honda's hybrids are more of a pathetic excuse for hybrids.
Honda goofed up with thier turbo attempt - it's less powerfull and less efficient than Toyotas bigger V6.
Honda has power output advantage in smaller 4 cylinder economy engines, but in this particular segments consumers dont really care so much about power, they are more concerned with fuel economy, and Toyota is pretty much dead even with Honda in this regard.
It seems to mee that you are living in the past and in the future, but not in present. It is a fact that Honda used to make great engines, and in the future Honda might start making great engines once again, but presently, Honda sucks.
