Chinese worker: "Me not come to work, me sick." Boss: "When I'm sick I have sex with my wife, try it." Chinese calls back: "It worked. Me better. You got nice house!"

Yes in the past the tariff wars ended up being a shooting war. Hopefully humanity is past that and can see the destruction a shooting war would cause. PSA, Dead Horse walking. Their weirdness is too weird for the US market. They would have to really come in with a Quality product that can sell on feature functions not already found as you stated by the Asian or Germans auto companies. Unlike Terrible quality Alfa that should have been left dead, PSA would be going down a path that left a very bad taste in Americans mouth. I doubt they would have much more success now than they did then. PSA is one company I can see going away on the global stage and due to gov support staying a french weirdness only.

I would agree with Drew on the focus areas and yet all of this is for naught if quality is not there and we continue on the stupid destructive path of a tariff war.

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.
