the Honda Passport and Acura SLX - super crappy reliablility with a honda name on it...
ridgeline is actually doing quite well and will beat their forecasts...they actually have raised production once and are considering doing it again...hmm a safe to drive on the road pickup, with best crash protection ever and neat innovative features

"Acura Vigor" is a name that had spirit, pep, vitality.
"Acura 3.2 TL Type S" has none of those qualities.

since my family has three 2nd gen legends, in actual experience the fuel economy averages in the low twenties/high teens.

i think honda's biggest mistake was to leave torque out of the B, D, K series engines, along with having the S2000 being their only RWD car.
