Honda Owner Buys Nissan. World in Shock.

CBRich · 05-01-2009, 08:05 PM

So I've owned a 90 Accord, 92 Accord, 94 Accord, 01 Accord, 06 Accord, 94 del Sol, 01 CR-V, AND an 04 MDX.

To the point. Honda just does not offer what I want. They are making appliances and I just can't handle that. So the end result was a trip to pick up a base model 370Z. Just a weekend car so I bought the base with plans to upgrade and play with it in the spare time. Here we go:

Same here HONDA is just not trying to compete anymore..
Owned a 93 Accord with a H22 in it.. 91 CRX SI with a B18C1 in it. 01 Integra GSR on a SC. And finally traded in my 07 Acura TL Type S for my 09 370Z.

Wish they would go ALL WHEEL DRIVE with TURBO like the MDX and then i might reconsider swicthing back until then NISSAN owns me..

Awesome move, congrats!

You must've really liked your 94 Accord.

Phew! Thank goodness you posted the third pic, because when I saw the first two photos I thought they'd sold you a car with no wheels.

I know it's a base model, but that would be just too basic.

Welcome.

Congratulations! Love the color. Is it faster than the Accords?

So the wife's no photographer. LOL.

My friend owns the grey 94 Accord you can see and I own the junkyard piece-it-together one in the street. Great commuter cars but where's the excitement? Love the Z so far and have a laundry list of things to do. The first being front plate removal.

<- Former Honda owner here as well. '88 Prelude SI, '95 Del Sol, '06 Civic Si. I gave up on Honda for now because it just seems like every 5 years or so, they get in a slump.

Congrats on the 370. Red is so sexy.

heh, my previous three are an 89 Integra, 04 Accord and 07 SI. Honda's cool , but lately I'm not sure what they've been thinking.

yeah i've got to agree. I've driven both toyotas and hondas, and right now nissan has a great line up. Great choice of car!
