I like the body lines - not as transformer looking.

They had a very slightly used 2021 and a new 2021 on the lot....both the older gen.
The problem was...they were asking almost the same for the older ones as the one I ordered..

I may need to pick up a Honda myself. Honda generator, while they are still legal.

I like those. What's the rpm at e.g. 70mph? It might be a good freeway car.

The Honda family has grown...three now. The Prelude, Fit, and Civic.
Salesman said he wanted to take the Fit in as a trade-in. Because of the inflated used-car prices, I might give him a chance.

I love the color palettes in new cars, just like yours. If I ever redo the LC...

Nice! I would say it would make a great appliance car but you got a manual, so that raises the level of coolness substantially.

^^^ Yeah...I just couldn't imagine buying an auto tranny.
Of the many Honda's I've owned....I have never had a tranny or clutch problem. And the Honda shifter is the best of all cars...imo

I wish I had switched to an auto a lot sooner than I did for my commuter cars. I might be able to enjoy a stick today if I had.
Congrats on the new one, Steve. I like the color. I wish they still made a V-6 Accord. I'd get one of those, or at least try to convince my wife we needed one.

^^^ This will be a DD for me. I have no city commuting...retired. The Fit is due to turn a quarter million miles in the next couple weeks....so I can't expect much more of that.

At that mileage if the dealer wants it let him have it!
I'd see if they'd give you a loaner till your new one comes in if they really want it, they might just do that.
