Per the Recent Article in Consumer Reports, Honda is once again among the top Auto-Makers in the Nation!

The article is pretty huge as I am sure everyone who has seen it knows, and for those who have not can imagine…but overall Honda did not rank Worst in any category from what I can see, from Reliability & Safety to Handling and “Fun”…
Out of the Entire Honda Line, all but the 2008 Accord are once again Classified by Consumer Reports as “Recommended”. The only reason the 2008 Accord is not among these yet is the fact it is still very new, and many things as of yet are still un-tested.
