And of course, it's the American way to sue to get your way. The worst part is that Honda is getting bad press over this.

I've never found a hill that my HCH can't summit...

Commuter car, grocery getter, and summer road tripper--average 10k miles per year.


Winter road trips and ski trips, bad weather commuter and my wife's "daily" driver--expected average 4k miles per year.
