Yes, but I think what he meant is they don't take that into consideration with their comparison tests results, top 10 list, car of the year awards etc . . . which they can't sometimes for new models, & I don't think they should. Leave that for CR & JDPower etc.

I like Honda. , too. Overall, their cars are somewhere between the floaty boat Toyota theme, and the rough Nissan theme. Too bad they don't diversify their lineup.
The Solara is the SC body. Although they didn't do it right this time. The 1st gen Solara was nice. The 2nd gen kinda shoddy...
