Honda is my favorite Japanese automobile maker. I hope one day to buy one of their motorcycles (CBR-600?......its far off), and they do make some good sports cars like the NSX and the S2k. But the rest of the lineup is a bit bland. Like my parents' new Honda Civic . Man that thing's an appliance. Whenever I can, I go out of my way to switch back to either our 10 year old Lexus ES or the X3 because I don't want to be seen in it, nor do I want to drive it. And if I'm forced to drive it, I drive it like a rental.
