FINALLY, a vehicle that you can carry egg shapped things in! I'm sure you were getting tired of stuffing them in boxes and putting them in the element.

Actually I think it is a great idea. If i was in that price range, hands down the Honda would be my choice.

Hmmm. The 109 hp and paddle shifters could mean stiff competition for Ferrari.
