Where was I supposed to post it? I didn't see a General Discussion Forum anywhere. At least I posted in the Off Topic section under Ramblings where everyone else post things at random. Sorry.

Well there was that one Car Talk forum.. But I thought it was for a specific car per-thread and maybe comparisons between them unlike my post of just the single manufacture and what I'd like to see from them..

You do not post your wishes and dreams in Ramblings. Ramblings is the killer of wishes and dreams.

There is an "Automotive News" forum right below "Car Talk" within the "Automotive Discussion" forum on the top left of each page and in the Forum Jump pull-down menu on the bottom right of each page.

But my 'wants' of a model line up wouldn't be Automotive news unless it really happens or is planed with it being true and sourced. All of which my wants are not.

Damn, looks like AZine added a bunch of moderators

OP - Who gives a damn where the thread gets moved to, but why in the world don't you have MPG figures on your wish list?

I just realized some thing today. I have a rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive 5 speed manual Honda! I have had it for over ten years too, and I didn't even realize what a rare machine I had been sitting on.





If only I didn't have to pull the cable to start the engine...
