    European readers, I always wondered, do you think it's funny seeing what we in the US (and Honda, who is probably also making these in the US) calls "Euro"?
    I always remember cars like the Chevy Beretta Euro and some Pontiac POS that had plastic bolt-on pieces that apparently constituted the "Euro". Hilarious.
    Obviously, I know this car is Euro production spec, but I wonder where people get the idea that something LOOKS European. Google Auto Euro Style for some hilarious bolt-on examples, even for the F-150!

    @Landau_Calrissian: Yeah, "Euro" seems to have really strange connotations in the land o' the "free". I remember laughing my head off about the Chevy Celebrity Eurosport back around 1986.

    I thought with cheap gas we didn't have to worry about mileage any more...right?


    Hell, I went out and bought a '92 F350 4x4 crew cab with a 460 for my wife as a stocking stuffer.

    Ford Fusion grills, Chevy Impala tail-lamps, Prius Bodies. Honda is just kind of phoning it in with this one.

    "Temple of Vtec" always makes me think of a bunch of Shriners in a parade, driving tiny cars with really loud exhausts.

    @The Name's Ash78, Housewares: Given that the average Shriner and the average Honda fanboi wear their trousers at opposite ends of the height spectrum, I would think that mental picture wouldn't last terribly long.
