Big negative on this statement...

Even a Type R can't take a Mustang GT of the same year; not stock, anyway. Mustangs are ugly but they aren't slow.

A fast Honda is like Clay Aiken shot out of a cannon. It may be fast but it's still gay.

Don't get me wrong, Honda knows how to Hustle and build great cars, but me I don't like them. They are Gay to me...that's just my opinion, I don't care about S2000 or NSX's or whatever Honda makes because I know spending all that money for those cars would be a complete waste when I can spend less, go faster, and feel better when I drive them. I mean who wants to really go man I want to build up a Civic WOOO HOOO...seriously there are better cars to play with. Even for family cars I still would get a Nissan/Infiniti over a Honda/Acura. They just feel and look better to me. I hate driving civics by the way I feel like I'll break them especially the new SI...oh my, this thing is like a toy...

Honda is just honda they just have a good power to weight ratio thats the only thing that makes them so quick... their b series doesnt put out much hp for stuck i think its like 195hp stock b18 but their weight ratio just makes up for the low power... is all all stock cars are slow cuz that's how they are designed and you have to factor in a gt mustang is a v8 4.6 or 5.0 compared to hondas little 1.x 2.x motors

Mustangs are not ugly at all. The newer 05+'s are not my favorite but the 99-04's are sexxay. I have a 99 Cobra right now and have had many others. Here are pics of a few I have had in my lifetime. Every one of them except the yellow one have been 11 second cars.This is my current cobra...and here are my past ones...

Hondas sucks. My friend floored his pilot, and i flored my mom's QX4. QX4 was like a 350Z vs. a Honda lol. 93 Civic came with a 75 HP engine, and an optional 100. WTF. "speed kills, drive a Honda"

Irony n Incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result.

ex Making fun of your friend who drives a Honda because you beat him in your mom's car.

And you base that broad statement on what exactly?Hondas don't suck. They are reliable, hold their value, can produce power and are as condusive to modification as any vehicle. Perhaps you confuse an emotional opinion with cold hard fact. Honda owners on the other hand; they can be a detestable lot at times, stubborn, judgemental, bombastic and fragile of ego with little maturity. But, so can any other car owner who becomes religiously dogmatic about the superiority of their pile of steel, glass and rubber compared to another based solely on baseless theories and emotional attachment to a nameplate. Hey, wait a minute,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Lets actually compare the two vehicles in your singular example08' Honda Pilot5 times Car & Driver best truck. (they seem to disagree with your learned assessment) http://www.caranddriver.com/bu...pilot

And Mommy's car QX4Not so stellar a review I would say.http://www.caranddriver.com/re...eview

For all the hype and self abuse generated by the playstationesque new GT-R the Japan car of the year is a Honda.

I dont know. To me my disslike for honda is becasue it seems like they could do so much more. I think most of their new cars actually look pretty decent but why are they continuing to throw small 4 bangers in them. Even Nissan's started to do it a bit. We know the 3.5 can make at least 300HP becasue thats what they are letting Infiniti use. So then why does the Murano, Altima, and Maxima all have around 255 when they are obviosly capable of 300? doesnt make sense to me...

emmisions and fuel economy walk a different path than maximum power. Car makers must strike a balance.
