How many Toyotas and Hondas can you count? Include Lexus and Acura!

It's not just "Imports" and its not just "Japanese".

It's Toyohonda mania, people.

That list is such BS. The Solstice and Sky is one of the most searched vehicles on the planet and it doesn't make the top 10 on their retarded list??!!! Riiiiiiight.

I never even realized that Pricegrabber had an auto section until today. Based on this list it makes me wonder who uses them to search for autos? There are so many better sites for information although I do like their search method with all the options on the left edge to help narrow down what you are looking for.
