Wow good find OP. Guess yahoo and bing are no longer my search pages of choice. Thank you for letting all of us know how they think. Off subject I saw a honda driver just about get it up the *** today. Lack of power made his effort to cut the gap almost end up in disaster. Guess yahoo needs to look around a bit better. An educated person wouldn't do that right?

Indeed. When he fondles all those intelligent, practical Honda drivers, he neglects to mention these people...

Yahoo didn't call anybody anything. You're all overreacting. All they did was report the finding of an independent study.
The data was released in the spring as part of this year's New Vehicle Experience Study by San Diego-based market research outfit Strategic Vision.
So if you want to blame somebody, blame Strategic Vision.

You sir, did not read the article. Nothing but opinionated

Besides, Yahoo is responsible for allowing it onto the front page of Yahoo Autos. SV may have penned the survey, but Yahoo wielded it inappropriately.

They reported the findings of an independent study by choice. Nobody told them they had to do it. Basically, some lazy sub-par writer needed something to write, so he just grabbed the first and easiest thing he could find on Yahoo search and decided to write on it. It's a poorly written, uninformative article that belongs on the cutting room floor of a tabloid office, not a respectable news page. That Yahoo found this article fit to post shows they too, are not too bright...

DEFINITELY NOT HONDA DRIVERS!!

eh, so the worst part was probably the last line. But that was nothing more than ending the article on a joke tying in the information at the beginning of the article. Kind of a weak study. I fail to see how there's any direct correlation to what car you drive and how intelligent you are. And I wouldn't consider Yahoo a 'respectable news page'.

Though it is funny how its listed under: Autos > Research > Articles. That's some pretty useless (if at all valid) research.

Wow. The author thinks he is doing the world a favor by classifying how people are depending on a car they own. I think the jerk showed his true colors. I never have known someone who was so critical of other people.

This is like saying you are a loser in high school because you couldn't afford that $200.00 sweater or that you are retarded because you like something different or just got a good deal on it.

SICK BASTARD. Judging people on what car they drive is wrong. Let's go around and stone people for being witches for ****'s sake.
