I have owned nothing but Honda cars for the last 15 years because they were so well made. And I have done plenty of shopping around too.

My first Honda went 250,000 miles and still ran like new. And I never did anything to it but change the oil regularly.

My latest is a 4 door Civic that gets about 40 miles to the gallon- I fill it up once a month for less than $30

We recently traded in a Ford Winstar for a Honda SRV, and love it!

This flying version is a pretty slick looking rig; there might be an increasing market for fast, smaller "general aviation" planes like this for people of means who might not be able to afford a Lear Jet but don't care for the anal exam every time they want to board a commercial flight.

Didn't Mitsubishi make the infamous "Zero" in WW-II?

I'd like to see someone come up with a moderized version of the German jet "Sparrow" (?) that they came up with late in the war; it was a sleek, hot little number that I bet a lot of civilian pilots / former Military JetJocks would have a ball with.
IIRC, it was about the same size as this Honda.

Ditto on my experience with Toyota. My 4Runner is still running like new the same as when I purchased it back in 2000, and now with 160,000+ miles. That vs. a previous 'Ford' where the transmission broke at 60,000 miles and that was without and hard driving at all.
