In my opinion, the Accord is more car than the Malibu. Not to say the Malibu is a bad car...I think the current model is pretty good. But the Accord has just grown up so much it's crazy! I'd expect to pay more for an Accord than a comparably equipped Malibu...even without the perceived quality adantage/resale value of Honda.
 
I agree. I'm not a Honda homer, but my dad's 09 Accord EX-L v6 is unbelievably nice for what he paid for it. He got it for 26k, and the only thing it doesn't have is Nav. The powertrain is unbelievably smooth, and the fit-n-finish is flawless for a car in that price range. I don't think the Malibu is in the same league, but that's my opinion.
 
I get a kick of the Chevy commercial that pokes fun of Honda because they make lawnmowers. I guess GM just doesn't get it, I think Honda puts more effort into a lawn mower than GM does into a car.
 
On a serious note, the fact that Honda makes great products in every category, whether it's a lawn mower, generator, outboard marine engine, jetski, motorcycle, and ATV, or whatever else they make is very impressive. I've driven honda's 225hp outboard that is basically the same 3.5 v6 found in an Accord and it's unbelievable how smooth and composed it runs and it can easily handle running full throttle at over 6000 rpm for hours at a time. It doesn't even sound like it's working. That's why you almost always see nothing but Honda's powering any government agency boat.

True. The commercial makes me laugh and at the same time, makes me dislike GM even more. What kind of both ignorant and condescending ad is that.....
 
PS: you forgot to mention Asimo, currently one of, if not the, best human-like robot out there.

I completely forgot about ASIMO.

I think you're right about that. I found this pic of a blue LaCrosse (warning...HUGE picture!) Kind of medium/dark, but nowhere near midnight. And seems to have sort of a glow to it. Lemko, is this the color of your wife's LaCrosse?

I don't think anything could make me dislike GM more than I do already. I am patiently waiting for that to change. I will not hold my breath.
 
The best cars have already won, GM. Wake up and smell the coffee over at your competition's place!

General Motors is no stranger to badge engineering – with not a single of its four remaining core brands able to claim a completely unique product offering – but our spy photographer have just spotted what may be the most egregious example in recent memory – the Daewoo LaCrosse.
