Default Interesting item in the brochure

You have to check out the official Honda brochure for the 2002 model. Observe the lovely spa yellow on the cover. Open the first page, and see a picture of the digital dash. The tach is at 8000 rpm, and the odomoter is showing 28 miles. I guess the advertising guys have not read all the warnings around here about avoiding VTEC the first 600 miles. The same advertising guys show the speedometer at 85 mph. Wait a minute, 3rd gear at 8000 rpm should compute out to about 81 mph. I guess the subliminal message is that the speedometer is not very accurate, and they want the world to know [my personal experience so far is that the speedometer seems to be fairly accurate, subject to a check or two vs. a measured mile].
