HOT CAR GUY
Speak softly - but carry a big stick. Now there is a quote for Honda Motor Co if I ever heard one. The company that brought us marvels like 4-wheel steering and a total domination of Formula One amongst other things seems to a have a serious personality disorder. On the one hand the Japanese giant is happy to play Mummy & Daddy - churning out respectable - but let's face it rather uninspirring grey cars, that loyal hat wearing (and we're not talking street rap side facing baseball caps here), customers buy year on year till death does them apart. Who can blame them as these gentle folk propelled the Accord to No1 best selling car in America.
