Just say no to car bashers! (was ///M Civic)

[Jordi Cuervo <cueja@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

I think you need to be more careful with your judgements. The latest Honda
Prelude was rated the
best handling car under $30,000 by Car and Driver magazine.  It may not keep
up with an M3
on a road course (the M3 was the best handling car over $30,000), but the
Prelude is an
excellent car with a lot of cool technology built into it. I'm really sick
of this "crappy Honda" stuff
that's been floating around the digest. I'll be the first to admit that
lowered, stickered, big exhaust
having Hondas are pretty annoying, but as a former owner of several Hondas I
know they are great cars
and can even be fun to drive.  I just hope everyone on the digest respects
the fact that not everybody
can afford a BMW. Grow up guys.
