OUCH! I guess we're all losers!...

It's not like anyone can "sold" into a CT. The pricing for the options is above most other comparable vehicles, even with discounts, negotiating, etc. The car fits a niche that's much more broad than I think even Honda intended to fill. The car has a poor marketing campaing, and I have yet to meet anyone, including other owners and salesmen that can say the car photographs well, it just doesn't no matter how you take the picture. I still catch people walking around the car trying to figure out what it is, and before they see me, I can hear them discussing how nice it is.

It seems to me that most of the people that write reviews, such as BMW loving Car and Driver, and Chrysler loving Motor Trend, never actuay get behind the wheel of a car with an open mind. I'm a Ford guy, I love my mustang, and you could that writer's hated having to admit that the new mustang kicks the hell out of the camaro and challenger, the articles with hard numbers to prove it were even written as though they didn't believe their own test.

I put no faith in journalistic review, they're journalist 1st, not customers. I prefer reading customer reviews about ANY product I buy.

Have to agree here - I had a guy walk up to me in the parking deck (while I was putting on the bike mount) striking up a conversation about "what kind of Honda" the CT was. The kicker is that he was a big, burly dude that does physical security for a celeb that lives in my building - *not* the kind of guy you'd expect to take an aside to inquire. Aside from being a painfully nice guy that totally belied his initial demeanor, I was also surprised that he totally *got* the concept of the CT.

If Honda is smart, they'll follow-up with the 2010 CT owners and re-calibrate the marketing. It's not going to be easy to out-live the "Facebashing" they took, but if they're really committed to the vehicle then it will gain acceptance in the media as it finds its market.

I could care less either way, since I feel like I bought an Accord from a maintenance/support perspective. I'd like for everyone else to feel like I do about the subject, but not enough to concern myself with it longer than the time it took to scan this thread (and the article) and write this post.
