Huh?

"But the 2008 Scion xD is the one that comes out on top for us."

Who chose Honda?


Yeah, the xD looks huge by itself because of that high beltline, but it's only 4 inches longer than the Yaris.

This article states the xD will start "about $15,080", while another Edmund's article says, "Unlike the xA, the 2008 xD will be tough to overlook. Particularly if, as expected, Scion keeps the car's base price down near $14,000 when it goes on sale this August."

Honda hasn't been trying to push an earth destroying, resource wasting, compensating, crush your neighbor truck like the Tundra. Honda hasn't had any issues with the batteries for their forthcoming PHEV. The Honda Insight and Civic Hybrid both beat the Prius for real-world mileage. Honda hasn't fought against raising the CAFE standards or reducing emissions like Toyota has via their membership in AAMA. Honda has had less than half the recalls over the last few years that Toyota has.

Even the reliability numbers for recent years put both Honda and Hyundai right behind Toyota.

Just because the Yaris comes out a hair's width ahead of the Fit in most tests doesn't mean that Honda as a whole isn't producing some good, desired and reliable vehicles.

As a matter of fact, despite our past love for Toyota and due to Toyota's anti-green, anti-consumer maneuvering over the last few months, the wife and I have decided that our next vehicle will likely be a Honda. As much as I want a PHEV, even if Honda's release of one will be a year later than Toyota's we'll wait for it.
