Living within 5 miles of both the Honda plants here in Ohio, I will tell you that I do see a lot of Hondas around here. They outnumber any other cars by far. Yes they are reliable and take a lot of abuse that a lot (but not all) of the American (Ford/Chevy/Dodge) car companys cant take. I'll still stick with both my Ford's though...

that is going to buy the Honda, I am going to start driving the Taurus and
let the truck sit at home to keep the miles off of it. The Taurus has been
very reliable so far.

It was uncomfortable to drive and the OEM sound system was a joke. The only good part of it was that it was a company car and I didn't have to pay for this piece of excrement.

Dad cried like a baby, the car had nearly 180,000 on the clock, was solid, and NEVER left him stranded. But he always kept it maintained. Uh oh, I think I've fed the troll again...
I now have a Ford 500 for a company car - and it is WAY better than the Taurus I had. For one thing, I've had it for 6 months and no interior trim pieces have fallen off.
