Replying to: houdini1 (Apr 19, 2008 7:06 pm) Looks like a decent upgrade but the body style hasn't changed much. My wife has three priorities 1. Reliability - Honda would be near/at the top 2. Appearance- Honda near the bottom 3. Ease of Use/Utility - Honda would do well here also. The appearance winner would be Enclave, CX-9 and Acadia in that order. Now she needs to drive them to make her choice. She mentioned the Honda interior was a little boring from first view in the review photos. Secretly, I prefer the CX-9 driving advantage over the others! Thanks again. Regards, OW |

Replying to: atlas7 (Apr 20, 2008 6:26 am) Not sure what your statement has to do with re-badging. Yes, Toyota sells alot of vehicles, yes Lexus is popular in the US. But rebadging is not necessarily the right formula unless the shared platform is the right platform. Do you seriously think that the ES/ Camry platform is particularly fantastic?

Replying to: lexusguy (Apr 19, 2008 11:18 pm) It wouldn't make the Lexus LS460 less of a car but a far cheaper priced Toyota LS would make a Toyota far more of a car. Badges, more exclusivity in terms of dealership services, better wood trim and materials may matter to many folks but when I buy a car I buy the car and not the image. And to me the essence of any car is its platform and drivetrain. But for others a car is how pretty it looks , how neat its electronic gizmo are and last but not least how nice and cordial and polite and considerate and empathetic those customer service reps are . To each his own I guess. |
