Oh my goodness, you English nuts get a grip. There are 2 sentences that say "my wife and I." One is correct, and the other should be "my wife and me."

Buy American? Honda Accords are made in Ohio, While there are more and more GM and Chrysler products being made in Mexico!

While I was in collage I had a sales man call me a f*** punk after a test drive where the radio was broke ,the seatbelts did not work ,and the shifter popped off in my hand while shifting. I had to coast off the road to keep a large truck from running us over . The trucks screaching brakes and smoking tires did not bother him . That dealer could not give me a car now . I could well afford that car then . I buy very nice cars now. Money they will never touch.

The author appears to be an idiot who is prone to over reaction. Find someone with some more smarts to write articles for you!

If the author would buy an American made car, we wouldn't have had to read about the incompetence of the dealers sending our money over seas. Who care what kind of foreign junk he drives. Buy American!! And please remember not to put my American flag on your foreign cars.

another worthless crappy article written by a blogger who sure has thin skin if a salesman wanting to stop and pick up a pack of smokes, or a rattle in a test drive vehicle offends this guy so much. Must be he works for Honda huh? I pay aol how much per month for this crap? wayyy too much

If you are willing to discount an entire make of car because the salesperson left a bad taste in your mouth, it shows you are incapable of making objective decisions on the second largest purchase most people make.

Hondas, Nissans, and every other asian make of automobile was introduced to this country on the premise of gas mileage and honest transportation. Now these cars are crammed with every luxo-barge feature that one could rarely find on the most expensive makes 5 years ago. In this day and age, every car maker is competent enough to put out a great product considering the complexity of the average automobile. It comes down to brand image, and the prestige of ownership...also known as that quiver in your pants when you tell someone else what you drive.

I live in Gulfport MS and most dealerships send everyone out alone for test drives. One dealer told me it was because a salesman was car jacked. The cars are insured and its not worth the risk to the salesmen. Go figure!

I am an car dealer,And once i trusted a person to take and test drive alone, Even though He had left another car durring the test drive which turn out to be his poor old grandparents the police said.durring the investagation, He put 1000 extra miles on it,And it Took a week for them to find him and the car,Then had to drive 200 extra miles to pay for its ,relase from the Police Impoundment Lot; Even thought this person was the averge every day anglo saxsan in apperance, I would never thrust any body else agin ever because when he stole this car he never once even thouht about the shame and humiliation invole in draging his poor old elederly folks to a Police GTA investagtion,After leaveing there car on the lot,After he stole our car! This person someone must of lie to him and told him he was smart, But the crime is he belive them!

Maybe the writer should try buying american!!!

I wish Honda still made the Honda Prelude. I had one for 13 years, and had a hard time letting it go, there was nothing wrong wih it and low milage!!

If you cannot tell that this is a terrible advertisement for a boring Honda and a terrible writer who cannot seem to stay on subject...You deserve to read everything that AOL puts up to show you. "How to buy a car" and "What signs tell you that a salesman is lying". Please I work in the automotive industry and it is dog eat dog. The products are getting better and better. The margins on how much a salesman can make smaller and smaller. Know your subject! When auto industry suffers 4 out of 5 businesses suffer. They are all linked to the car business. Think about it...

BUY AMERICAN.... American Honda, American Nissan, American BMW, American Hyundai, Until the Unions get out of the American HalfA$$ carbuilding business.

ME, are you sure that your BMW wasn't made in South Carolina?

keep driving your sucky jap cars

The headline reminded me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer drives until the car runs out of gas...

To Kent Lindy....I owned a Honda Accord. It was a 1997 Accord SE. I bought it with 40,xxx miles and got rid of it with 140,xxx on it. It was a decent car in the fact that it ran, but being only 5'7 and 160 pounds I found it to be cramped and painful on trips over an hour, and underpowered with the 2.2 four banger. But it never left me stranded.

If you want to compare mileage my 1979 Buick Lesabre with a 301 V8 has over 340,xxx miles on it and still starts up right with the turn of the key. It has cost me about $600 in maintainence in the last 7 years (not counting oil changes). I drove it everyday, and it still gets 24 mpg on the highway. Yes, its still the original engine and tranny. Its all about maintainence and upkeep. Almost any solid car can last when the owner loves it enough to take great care of it.

You meatheads still haven't figured out why our economy, house prices, schools, cities and our infrastructer is becoming third world.
It's because our merchandisers ran overseas to buy stuff cheap and ran back here to sell to people who have good paying American jobs. Duh, I wonder what happened to the good paying American jobs and the once greatest country?

All of you high & mighty import buyers are doing your part in destroying the US economy and puting your neighbor out of work. Oh well, that's them and not me. I'm sure that's the way most of you feel.

I love the inconsistencies on this board.
"All imports suck except my BMW...."
"Buy American. My Impala......" Your Impala is not made in the US.
"Honda's suck" Did they suck when GM dropped its own engine and bought a Honda V6 for its Saturn SUV? BTW, its domestic content went up with the addition of the Honda engine, which was built in the US. The previous GM engine had been an import.
GM has finally resolved the issue by moving the entire vehicle production (Vue) to Mexico.
