Re: New TT: was Re: VW Headquarters

Um no.

People that buy Honda are use to $10-15k civics. Sure there are some top end
accords, in general though Honda makes Economic cars. Knowing this, would
you rather go give HONDA 30k or AUDI 35k?

I saw the specs on the Honda S2000 and yes they are impressive but it is
still a Honda. Mattel still designs the interior. =} They would have been
much better off calling it an ACURA S2000.

Another way to look at it, the VW TT. Doesn't sound the same or VW Diablo.
