Visca Catalunya!
The figures are definately not promising.
Indeed as is Honda's recent history, with the Insight (which I think is a fair comparison in terms of development time and intention) proving to be somewhat of a dog.

Honda, like Toyota, is on the slippery slope to mediocrity.
Quality issues and and not getting to market with industry leading products.
Sad to see such a benchmark company falter.
Their regular non-hybrid cars aren't that bad, are they?
If we make an exception for our Civic's downgraded rear suspension, their cars are usuall well engineered like Subarus, only not quite as quirky and oddball.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
A Honda that actually looks good.

Mah boi, UCP is what all true warriors strive for!
PINGAS!!!!
My buddy and I were talking about this last night actually. I concluded that Toyota actually has more exciting cars than Honda.
What the shit is going on?!
He said - as you do Dino - that they aren't really leading anymore. They have some staples - Civic, Accord, Fit (arguably, though rated well what I've heard; can't comment on reliability) but they are faltering.
This harms him as he's a Honda fanboy in large part because his parents owns a dealership.
Well, compared to our old Escort, an unequivocally shitty car, our new Civic is really not an improvement. Quality is better, obviously, but most other aspects of the car seem inferior to the Escort. This surprised me because I assumed that the Civic would be light, easy to see out of, and docile being the benchmark and whatnot. Perhaps this is a rant for another thread.
"Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"
"No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"
I'm confused, I'm very confused.
The made a Concept CR-Z which was pretty darn good. And now ????
Did the "Concept CR-Z" Designer die ? And they lost all the plans of the Concept?
I would have loved to be at that CR-Z meeting, it must have been something like this:
-Designer ; let's get that concept right in to production.
-Honda HQ; No. I'ts to expensive. Let's leave the concept and start over from scratch, make it ugly, and make it a hybrid with poor fuel economy figures. And give it more CO2 emissions then the civic hybrid. Because that's what the world is waiting for.
Why is there so much car in front of the front wheels? They said there would only be a little car in front of the front wheels, this is a terrible Honda!
It has all the makings of Epic Fail.
Slow, overweight, mediocre fuel economy, too expensive. Everything that's wrong about a hybrid, with none of the advantages.
Honda is toast.
