You and I clearly have different opinions as to what constitutes a political discussion. However, I think you must admit that the way AB reported this decidedly small and insignificant comment by former President Bush was not without some political spin. I fully support AB reporting on Congress passing new safety standards, or on Obama's plan for the auto industry, but not on news that, in my mind, belongs in the tabloids.

And while my analogies are extreme examples, I do believe they are accurate in principle.

You are right. I could have skipped the post and read about Clarkson's big ol' fro.

But how would you feel if SEARS started carrying KKK apparel? Or Barnes & Noble started stocking pornography on the shelves? Of course, you are free to just pass on by.

When I come to Autoblog, I expect to read about pertinent automotive news. If they begin reporting on politics, I will move my bandwidth elsewhere.

I vote to make Autoblog a politics free zone. I don't come here to read about all the finger-pointing that comes out of Washington.

I am quite aware of Honda's experience with highly efficient vehicles. I myself drive a civic, which gets 40 mpg highway when driven conscientiously. Cars like the CRX were cheap and efficient because they were small, simple, and most of all, lightweight. They accomplished 50 mpg almost 20 years ago when the public had no clue about hybrids.

When I refer to "green tech", I'm talking about hybrids, EVs, hydrogen, etc.

In my opinion, Honda jumped off the green bandwagon around 2000 to increase market share by offering the Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline, etc. Now they want to jump back on by using "green tech" to improve their public image. I feel they could accomplish the same efficiencies without these "green" technologies. They did it 20 years ago.

I disagree with Mr. Ito about green technologies being the answer. If he is so concerned about reducing mass and simplifying design, they should not be bolting on an electric motor and tossing some batteries in the trunk. I also contend that the only people a "green" sports car will attract are those who would not have considered a sports car in the past, and are doing so now only because its in vogue. Honda is just jumping on the green-fever bandwagon like everybody else.

My money will vote for that new non-hybrid Toyota/Subaru coupe.

I was wondering the exact same thing...

I'm sure all of those UAW workers will be thrilled to be employed by the Chinese...
