Probably the very last car to bite the dust will be the ones equipped
with 4 cylinder engines and manual transmissions. That is Honda's
lifeblood, and it'll be awhile before executive management gets
desperate enough to screw that up.

Well, they'll worry about brand loyalty later. Right?
As for uncomfortable, just those damn headrests alone would keep me from
buying a Honda today. No, Honda, you don't have to jam them forward so
