There are some things things that Honda do well when it comes to engines. Lexus are Toyota, Audi are VW but yet would be seen in two different classes. Granted the finish in a Lexus and a Audi is much better than in the Toyota or a VW.

Ah the good old 4x4 driven by footballers and wags which seemed to do the trick in sending them right up there as the must have! Also ideal for blocking up roads in the center of town as they stop to take a phone call! You would think they could afford a hands free kit!
