Hey, Gulfbreeze! :) Interesting point. I don't really think he knew vehicles very well after his "general" remark about dependable automobiles. Everybody knows Hondas go about 300K on one engine. On the other hand though, for someone that has experience with the Obvio (I can't recall if he drove one), it is nice to see him rate it up there with the big names.
One of my biggest concerns about purchasing one of these is dependability. I have no idea whether Brazilian manufacturing is top notch. He allayed my fears somewhat. However, I will still not be one of the early adopters. I'll buy-in with the early majority.
Understand the present. Create your future.
