It was essentially an Acura with different trim, based on the specs.<br /><br />He defied me to find something wrong with it. After careful consideration, I pointed out that the Honda Logo was about twice the size of that on his previous car, and I mocked the blatant aggressiveness of Honda's need to scream their brand name to other drivers on the road.<br /><br />My friend considered this and after careful thought declared he could live with it, as he never saw the logos while in the car driving it.<br /><br />Other peoples' problems.
