Ah...what can I say, I am a fan of Honda automobiles and I have to say that this car looks rather average, but then again if you have to like something you will have to like both the good and the bad, right?

I have thought of an excellent slogan for this car:

Get a Life!

Hee hee!

I find the boxy shape looks weird. And the car looks funny too...

Average looking car, gorgeous lady. Can't believe she's only 22. That makes her like what, 19 when she starred in Swing Girls ?

Needs a set of sweet wheels, those wheel covers are awful! I like the dark tint on the back.

What is on display, car or the couple? 'personality of the day' makes me feel better.

boring people for a boring car

Rond, you stole my thunder.

Honda remains out of touch. Check out the GEM by Chrysler ! Electric cars are the future and this sleek little model has "kawaii" written all over it !

If you don't buy this car, you have no Life.
