And if Honda was so much better than Toyota they would be leading in sales across the board and poised to become the #1 auto manufacturer in the world. Honda isn't.>>>

1) Honda is one of the largest motorcycle companies in the world.

2) Honda is also a large manufacturer of power equipment, water crafts, and just about everything else with an engine!

Automobiles are only a portion of everything they build. They even have a concept jet plane.

Not to even mention Asimo, one of the most advanced Humanoid robots...

People tend to forget that Honda is an engine manufacturer first and foremost...... one of the largest at that in the world when you consider all the different engine types they make. Far beyond that of just cars and motorcycles.

number one doesnt always mean better. at one point, GM is the number one. Ford Taurus used to be the number one. i dont disagree that Toyota has good products, but they are not necessarily better.

Totally true, notice how cheap in price the toyota camry is when it gets to options or packages. Plus, Honda uses better, and higher quality materials compared to way down scale lexus,Toyota,lol. Another thing, toyota is just so desperate to sell, in my opinion, that they give rebates that show that the car isn't really worth what they're trying to sell it for (not that any car is but even then). What did you guys think of the sport 4?

I'll have to disagree with you on that one. IMO, While Toyotas aren't exactly the most enticing to drive or the most attractive... their engineering and build quality is impeccable, especially Lexus. There are many reasons I prefer Honda to Toyota, but I will argue that there are just some things that Toyota simply does better...and being that they are now the richest (not the largest) automobile manufacturer, they've got the finances to do it...
Honda may actaually be a larger company as a whole, but as I stated above...automobiles are only a small fraction of everything Honda is about.

Myself perhaps, but I'm more of a Lexus fan than a Toyota fan. Lexus fans in generals are bigger and better than Toyota fans.

Has anyone seen that post on the " 2010 Honda Accord", that "Accord" is the photoshop version of the sports 4 concept, although it would be nice if it were it probably isn't gonna be. And besides Honda probably is going to make the next generation accord bigger than the sports 4 and current generation accord in order to compete with the 2007 Toyota Camry.
