My Fav's
Lexus ES
Lexus IS
Lexus GS
Lexus SC
Subaru Legacy
Subaru Outback

Re: Your favorite Asian Cars for 2006

For a recently introduced or redesigned 2005/06 asian vehicle that I like, I'd have to say:

Lexus IS (too bad the manual is currently only available for the RWD 2.5L version)
Mazda Mazdaspeed6 (although the body was introduced in 03, the new drive-train lets me cheat)
Honda Civic (I see dozens of the new one on the streets everyday and it looks significantly better in real life than in photos.)

Tough times are ahead. A brand new car is not in the cards. My new (to me) 16 year old Accord serves the purpose extremely well. And it's paid off!

How about D: none of the above. I vow NEVER to own a Toyota or Honda product. Nissan is okay so is Subaru, I work at a Subaru dealership. Let me tell you the ES is pure junk, not because I hate Toyota but because they don't wear very well and my Buick rides better with less body lean.

Then why did you bother to post? This is what I was talking about, useless posts just to annoy.
