Yeah, my life-fullfilling dream is to order a BMW in Bavaria and have it shipped to my home here. Completely in German..... from the owner's manual to the emissions sticker on the hood. Bayerische Motoren Werke looks so much more ballsy than Bavarian Motor Works.

BMW has a program where you order a BMW from the German plant, then fly there and spend like 5 days driving on the Autobahn and in the Black Forest Then they ship it home :thumbup:

Plus putting an S next to an X is like making a Japanese person say "convenience store"

:werd: I just still refer the RSX as Integra or RS-SEX... :thumbup:

Honda needs to bring back the Legend name and dump the lame RL name. Also, call the TL the Inspire. ick! Stop trying to copy the Germans with numerical naming....Honda is bad at it!!! :dunno:

I have to say the same with the TSX, even though I own one. I really hate the name TSX. Why not call it Accord Euro or Torneo Euro R??? ekkkk!!! :dunno:

Calling the TL the Inspire might be a tad confusing, as the USDM TL will equal the Saber and the USDM Accord will equal the Inspire. And they no longer product the Torneo...calling it the Accord Euro would be disastrous marketing, as I'm sure you could imagine. They don't want to associate it with the Accord.
