Its hard not to like a Honda

A recent article from the New York Times reports that "luxury sport utilities are becoming decidedly less cool than just three years ago, when they were the hottest things on wheels and dealers had long waiting lists for the most popular models." Why? Well, because "the higher cost of gasoline plays a big role, as it has for the last year of high oil prices. But wealthy buyers, who used to shrug off the expense, are shifting gears, as excessive energy consumption is becoming socially embarrassing."
About flippin' time you H2 freaks come to your senses! I'm glad that folks out there are if not speaking out against then at least frowning upon popular trends that are grossly detrimental and largely unnecessary; in this case, ginormous tank-like vehicles that guzzle gas and destroy our environment. Its a good sign that some sort of social consciousness (however limited it may be) is out there influencing the manner in which we live.
