Not true, Hydrofoils can turn very well on the water and this seems to do the same thing. Much like a Hydroplane race boat, less than 10% of the boat actually in the water but very stable at turning at high speeds.

They are at least building a family consistent style. Thanks for pointing that out Drew!

Never been a fan of the Fly headlights on the Acura or now on the Pilot. The rest of it is just so BLAH to me. Nothing inspiring to me, yet the Honda Faithful will eat it up.

Thank you @Drew Dowdell you nailed it perfect, a Z4 with a Toyota nose job.

I get that, just that I figure for the price premium of the Acura, they would have some differences.

The cameo car above just does not inspire me.

Weird, but sounds like they did to the Acura MDX also to the Honda Pilot.

Should do well for VW. Good Idea

I know they are not the exact same thing, but close enough in being chopped up and formed pork products. Still crunchy cooked bits in Mac N Cheese is yummy ?

Searched, but I wonder what the canyon bronze metallic looks like. I like the Mocha interior, warm and comfy. Rest is just meh.

Any company if they wanted to compete on specific engineering item for item, performance for performance could with the Germans. Especially the Japanese, but they went after a certain price point, with a certain performance level for their customers and seems to have hit the bean counters desires.

East Coast Pork Roll AKA Spam on the west coast. I have tried both and like them both. Take you Pork Roll, cut into little cubes, cook up in a pan till crunchy, drain on a plate with paper towels to dry up and set aside. Next make creamy Mac N Cheese, then fold in your crunchy pork roll bits and save a little for on top. Serve and enjoy your cheesy goodness with crunch pork roll.

These guys need to learn what ugly trucks really are. I like a number of them.

That qualify's for the Joke Thread. Plus I thought that is what we did in the 70's with all those cool custom vans!

Balance For six days God could not be found. Finally, on the seventh day, Michael, the archangel, found Him. "Where have You been?" Michael asked. God smiled deeply and proudly and pointed down through the clouds. "Look," He said. "Look what I've made." Michael looked down, but was puzzled. "What is it?" he asked. "It's a planet. And I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance." "Balance? What do you mean?" asked Michael. Pointing to the different parts of the Earth, God explained. "Over there I've place a continent of black people and there I've placed a continent of white people. Europe will have wealth an opportunity, Africa will be poor. There it will be extremely cold and there it will be extremely hot. Everything is in Balance." The Archangel was impressed. He pointed out a land area and said, "What is that?" "That's Washington State," said God, "the most glorious place on earth. It has beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers and streams, hills, forests and plains. The people there will be handsome, intelligent, modest and humorous. They will be hardworking, high achieving, sociable and producers of software." Michael was in awe and filled with admiration. He asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance." God smiled. "Yes," He said, "There's another Washington. Wait till you see the idiots I put in that place!"

PNW Humor: Policeman: Lady, what gear were you in at the moment of the crash impact? Oregonian: Gear? Oh, Nike of course! (Beaverton, Oregon is the corporate headquarters of Nike). ________________ A newcomer to Portland arrives on a rainy day. She gets up the next day and it’s raining. It also rains the day after that, and the day after that. She goes out to lunch and sees a young kid and, out of despair, asks, ”Hey, kid, does it ever stop raining around here?” The kid says, ”How should I know? I’m only 8.” ________________ Question: What do you call two straight days of rain in Portland? Answer: A weekend. ________________ It only rains twice a year in Portland: October through April and May through June. ________________ Question: What does daylight-saving time mean in Portland? Answer: An extra hour of rain. ________________ What did the Portland native say to the Pillsbury Doughboy? Answer: Nice tan. ________________ A curious fellow died one day and found himself in limbo waiting in a long, long line for judgment. As he stood there, he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through the gates of heaven. Others were led over to Satan, who threw them into a lake of fire. Every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into the fire, Satan would toss him or her to one side. After watching Satan do this several times, the fellow’s curiosity got the better of him. He strolled over and tapped Old Nick on the shoulder. “Excuse me, there, Your Darkness,” he said. “I’m waiting in line for judgment, and I couldn’t help wondering why you are tossing some people aside instead of flinging them into the fires of hell with the others?” “Ah,” Satan said with a grin. “Those are Portlanders. I’m letting them dry out so they’ll burn.” ________________ “I can’t believe it,” said the tourist. “I’ve been here in Portland an entire week and it’s done nothing but rain. When do you have summer here?” “Well, that’s hard to say,” replied the local. “Last year, it was on a Wednesday.”

Blah Blah Blah AMG Blah, Mercedes Blah, Racing Blah, Blah Blah................ Not EVERYONE WANTS A FREAKING MERCEDES! Plenty of folks like what Lexus, Infinity, Genesis build and will continue to buy them over the overpriced Germans with crazy maintenance and repair costs. Some day your going to have to accept that not everyone wants your horse with blinders German only auto. After all German lost the war because of their arrogance about superiority and superior race. They murdered millions and to this day, my heritage brothers and sisters have yet to learn how to live in the worn with others that are not just like them. Lexus makes a profit they are happy with without needing 10 models all 500+ HP of over rev'd dual overhead came German machinery.

Supposedly I thought and I could be wrong but that they were building all the new auto's on a Modular single platform that fully supported EV or Hybrid. At this point you could then easily assemble them in one plant and switch the power train depending on what is ordered. Yet at the rate Potus45 the Idiot is going, the world will benefit and we will still be stuck in the stone age.
