Buick sells best in China. For some reason Chinese people absolutely love Buick.

I would never ever buy honda. I hate that car company with the passion of a billion nuclear bombs. It is totally irrational and I know that. Although they have really stopped giving a crap the past couple of decades, we'll see if the Civic Type R is the beginning of a change back to when they cared.

I agree with the Honda thing. My dislike is also based on absolutely no rational thought. They just annoy me. Mind you I said the same about Subaru 4 years ago.

I actually just saw my first Type R on the road earlier today. It was blue with black accents. It looked pretty sharp. If I were in the market for a FF car,it would probably be at the top of my list.

About 3,000 people in the US since that was all they were making for the 17s. About two days worth of Dodge Caravan production.

I would drive the Caravan before I would touch one of those ugly ass Type Rs.

1)Not many people as they are apparently hard to get and are way over MSRP.

2)Fools that are able to secure one and pay way over MSRP for them.

One thing to take into consideration too,is resale value. I'm sure everyone that's buying Type Rs today will not take nearly as hard of a hit when they try to sell them as they would if they were getting a normal Civic,or even an Si.

I'd love to have the only Pacifica lowered on coilovers. That car is awesome.

I know I'm going to get crap for this, but I still would not buy anything built by Ford. I had a Pinto back in the 70's......sorry......

....... snap out of it old man!

Got out of that cramped, rough riding, underpowered wanna be car of yours.

Give Ford another look ....... they have the perfect vehicle for you.

* auto, powered, heated everything, great for aching bones

* great rear visibility, so you won't be backing into things anymore

* lots of room for ALL the grandkids ...... many seats, many windows

* large, soft seats, for your bony, sagging ass

* automatic off switch for the turn signals

* ample room for your walker

* expansion possibilities for your future wheelchair

* easy entry and exit, so you don't look like a fool anymore when you fall out of your car

be a

old man

I had a '93 Probe GT. Don't even know what was so GT about it. Six cylinder 164 hp.What a waste! Oh,and it was a shared platform with the Mazda 626,so say goodbye to cheap American parts.

So yeah, not a Ford fan either,but damn would I love to drive a GT 350 R.
