Trouble with Honda is their inflated price and opinion of themselves .

I cross shopped in between the Audi A4 allroad and Volvo V60 Cross Country recently and bought the Volvo. At first I was all set for the Audi, but it’s all sold out and the dealer just didn’t want to work with us. The Volvo is very comfy at this price range.

Prices are only dropping on vehicles that no one wants. I've been in the market for the Prius and recent the new Camry. Try finding one that isn't outrageously marked up in price. Even the Hyundai and Kia hybrids are not coming down in prices

"Spending time with Andrea." Good answer, Zack!

Got a $5K dealer discount and 2.9% APR on a 2024 Honda Prologue Elite!

The reduction in car prices currently is from incentives, not lowered MSRP’s. They’re not gonna reduce the MSRP. They just add incentives.

I too hate shinny black plastics. It made us switch our choice from the redesigned Traverse to the Acadia. The GMC variant doesn’t have it.

Well? You gonna share the QCC spicey margarita recipe.

I can never avoid piano black because it is in all the cars I like!😢

Hi! With regard to the Honda Civic OR Mazda CX-30 question from a Southern California fan, I was certain you guys would suggest that he also take a drive in a Mazda3. I understand he did not ask about the Mazda3, but the CX-30 is based on the Mazda3, and the Mazda3 would make sense to comparison shop with a Honda Civic. Thanks for the great content!

Hey guys, do you recommend bmw x1 or Lexus nx? You also made a video about ev’s having a higher insurance rates, is that also true about plug in hybrid?

Shinny Black plastic parts can accommodate a large percentage of “regrind” that will be produced in the manufacturing process of all other colours. To produce “shinny grey” parts will require lots more “virgin” material!
It all boils down to the production cost and production of black plastic parts is usually cheapest as compare to other colours.

I still hear about engine oil dilution problems with the 1.5 turbo engines in Hondas. Notice Honda discontinued that motor in the newest Civics.

[georgehigdon]

I'm surprised that you didn't offer up the Toyota Crown Signia as a premium wagon!

I had the sticky steering issue on my 2024 CR-V. The dealer confirmed the problem and ordered the part. After six months still no part and no idea when it would arrive. Only after I filed a claim citing Washington state lemon law did the part magically appear. Now the problem is resolved.

Honda is very negligent in addressing this issue. It affects vehicle safety and Honda doesn’t seem to care.

"My favorite thing is spending time with you" is what comes after years of being married 😅

[bluetocop]

when the patriot first came out I wanted it ( young and dumb) anyhow when I saw the cheap dash I walked out on the salesman

@7:58 piano black plastic screams "cheap and nasty" to me. it's lazy design by lazy designers with no creativity.

[brucemichael]

I just keep a microfiber cloth in my Hyundai Tucson and while waiting for my wife just wipe down the piano black and the screen and they look great!
