I could care less if someone else likes or does not like the vehicle I chose to buy. They spend their dollars to buy what they want and I spend mine.
It's the internet and everyone has an opinion. You have 25 year olds telling folks who have owned and driven high end cars for longer than their 25 years of life what is and what is not "luxury" and "upscale".
Thankfully I can afford to buy just about any car I would want and have more times than I can count.
This time I chose this new '08 Accord. Had it two entire days so far and so far so good. One of the factors in opting for this car is that my 14 year old son likes them and I may pass this one on to him when he gets his license in a couple of years. At that time if the new Pilot is really as nice as the current Acura MDX I might give one of those a try.
