2008 Honda Accord LX 4-door from North America - Off Topic Comments

Well, I also rent a lot of vehicles, one or two a month for business travel. Ever since 2005 in particular I've been very impressed with the cars I've gotten. As recently as 2000, I wasn't convinced that a car of that year rode or drove any better than a 1970's boat, and often not as good. But by 2005, virtually every rental (Chevy Malibu, Chevy Impala, Pontiac G-5 and G-6, Chevy Malibu Maxx, Ford Crown Victoria, Buick LeSabre, Ford Taurus, Ford Fusion) were smooth, had good power, and got good mileage (25-28 mpg city/mixed/highway, except of course the Crown Vic got about 21). The two Dodge Calibers were also good cars--I had an R/T AWD and a base model. The only dog in the bunch was a Chrysler PT Cruiser. Admittedly, the Hyundai Sonata wasn't a bad car, either.

However, after this week the new champion dog is-----the Suzuki Forenza! What a pile! I would have been begging for ANY Chevy, Ford, or Dodge over that junk. Window sealing foam falling off, gutless with no acceleration and very soft shifts that left you wondering when you'd start moving again, the engine rattled so badly that at stop signs it sent vibrations right through my spine--this is superior Japanese engineering!?! Please! Is anybody seriously trying to tell me that every Japanese car is better than any American car??? No way!

I really hate the 2008 Honda Accord! The styling and the manufacturer support of this car really sucks! It is comfortable although I'm not happy with this car! People from Honda are very boastful thinking that they are number one in this world but the number one is Toyota right? They are being so pretentious on their cars and how they deal with people and service! That is why we have never owned a Honda ever since and we will never get one!

Actually, GM still sells more vehicles world-wide than Toyota. It depends which hairs one wants to split regarding categories of vehicles. It's close with Toyota, though.

To 17:07: Are you SURE that horrible vehicle you described was a Suzuki? It sounds remarkably like my old Honda Civic.

"Actually, GM still sells more vehicles world-wide than Toyota. It depends which hairs one wants to split regarding categories of vehicles. It's close with Toyota, though."

Considering that GM produces far more vehicles across a far broader demographic than Toyota, there stands a reason why they sell more vehicles. Toyota sales come from the bread and butter, long-popular, long-standing Camry and Corolla models.
