I don't hate Hondas (well maybe the new ugly ones that are coming out), I just hate most of the the young D-bags owners that can't afford nice things and try to steal my Honda. If they don't want to steal my car then they want to race me even though they see my 85 year old Grandma in the front seat. I love my Type-R that I sold to get my G.

When it comes to car safety, I say forget about the ridiculous star system and just see how many people fatal accidents occur in a given model:
http://www.iihs.org/externaldata/srdata/docs/sr4204.pdf

Unfortunately there isn't a more recent article from the IIHS that breaks down the stats by model. Sure enough the Neon is one of the cars with the highest fatality rates, but not as bad as the 350Z. The G35 does well, probably because of its weight, size, and you can't get one without stability control and side airbags. I'm sure the typical driver plays a big part as well. When the report was compiled in 2007, there probably weren't many teenagers driving G35s.

He doesn't daily the Miata, no... for that he has an even more girly ride (and one more inline with the thread topic )
A car so effeminate, it's actually named after part of the female anatomy... the Honda CRVex (oops, I seem to have forgot a space )

I think that's mostly due to the average driver thing.

^Yeah... but the Miata isn't prone to burst into flames and/or oil smoke at any moment like the Dodge

As much of a chick car that it is, I don't think the Beetle has anything on the Scion tC...

Back when I had the Trans-Am I used to catch major crap from the "Neon" drivers (of course, I didn't help any )
My final statement was always the same though, I would remind them I had over 100k mi, and say... "Let's have this discussion again 50k down the road "

^ My cousin used to have a tC... we gave him a lot of crap about it too. So much to the point that he sold it and got a 350Z.. ok, not ENTIRELY because we gave him hell, probably mostly because the Scion was broken all the time.

Considering you can now get a G35 for the same cost of an Accord, there will be more and more riced out G35's from ex civic and other honda owners. By the way my first car was a 94 Accord. I loved it.

there is a turbo TC (greddy) in my area, and this kid paid over $20K for the car already turboed (I know the price, because the dealership he got it from tried to sell me the car prior) and i've come across him on the streets and that thing is still slow as hell. and to me, a TC is for asian girls only.

Hell, your trans am is probably still being driven somewhere.

^Nah... I total them

My cuz tC was supercharged, and it wasn't really all that fast. He took his N/A Z to the track and ran a better time.
