The Front Row

A guy at work has been trying to get a good deal on a new Accord for several months and went to mutable dealers in the process. Someone suggested to him an internet site that he used to buy on-line straight from the dealer. He ended up saving $4700 off of the best deal he got going to the dealers in person. I think this was the site .. http://autos.aol.com/new-cars/

I'm a Toyota guy for my wife car because their safer (we have kids too). Just got a 2011 corolla at a great rate for Germain in Gahanna

They're safer in what way?

Purchased a Pilot in 2003, now it has just under 137,000 on it and runs like a clock.

Fair enough. And like someone else pointed out, there's no question Hondas retain their value better than the vast majority of cars.

The overall quality difference between the two brands is minimal.
Safety with all major brands is very, very good.
Honda gasoline engine technology is excellent.

I am on my 4th Honda vehicle; first two were Acura TLs, 3rd was an Accord fully decked out, and now a CrossTour. The CT interior is darn near the same as a TL and the interior configuration is excellent for our needs( I'm not hauling kids ).

For my money a fully loaded Accord is a better value that a TL.....performance, handling is so close as not to be an issue. Interior quliyt certainly in favor of the TL.

Toyotas's don't do it for me. Lexus is a different animal...those are really cool.

Too bad Hoov is in min-van mode.

if anybody is interested i work at BRONDES FORD LINCOLN OF MAUMEE(maumee ohio) number is 419-887-5090 i would be more than happy to help anybody out even if you dont buy ford we have all used cars avaible also.

I just saw pictures of the new escape and it looks really nice....like a mini Explorer. They have done a great job on this vehicle.
I own a Honda also and it is very sturdy and just keeps running. They have a great reputation, thus the high resale value. But, I see awesome cars coming from Ford and others that are just as nice.

I am waiting a couple years to see if the new ford products are going to be what we think they are. Honestly, they have much more style, but I am waiting to see if the substance is there in 5 years.

For example, I bought my wife a Toyota Sienna 2 years ago. It was just one-year old (2009 model, bought it in 2010). A lot of miles for just one year (20K) but I bought it for $8K less than what it would have cost new.

I know Hondas and Toyotas aren't the exact same thing, but they're close. Goes to show just how much a car depreciates in the first year. It's amazing. Hondas less so than other cars, but it's not like Hondas are immune from it.

Buy american people!!!!!!!!!

American most likely means you're sending your money to Michigan. Honda employs A LOT of people in Ohio.

I'm a Buckeye, so I drive an Accord.

The people at Honda East hooked up wife and I when we bought her car there a year or two ago. Lindsay family knows what they're doing, very appreciative of their customers. That would be my first place to check if I was in the market.
