Default Honda's mojo

Many of us have been saying this for months. Why 2010 wasn't good.

Hopefully for Honda they will wake up and smell the coffee, but for us the consumer it really does not matter there are plenty of fine brands and products now to choose from. The only loser here is Honda that is unless they decide to change.

History shows nothing last forever even Honda loyalty

Well written piece, thx. I have been having this discussion with an Acura salesguy, I have been doing business with for many years.
Honda is becoming an also-ran very quickly. They have just plain gotten boring, and they think that open wheel racing is their "performance cred", they are very sadly mistaken.

Wow. That is a lot of problems for Honda, and all self created.

Yeah, and their attitude doesn't seem to be a smart one - short-term blip which isn't important??? Hmmm...

Insightful article, I wonder if Honda is listening?

A humorous side note to Honda's ills are that the sales graph in the article just happens to coincide with the demise of the S2000. Unrelated I know, but curious none the less.

If you haven't heard it already, the Element will be removed from the line-up too.
