I've had my FX for almost 3 weeks now and I'm just getting around to showing some of my friends. Here are some notable comments:

"Wow that's . . that's really red"
"Is that a station wagon wannabe SUV?"
"What's up with the chuck wagon wheels?"
"What is that . .thing? . . .never heard of it"

It's all in fun. They all changed their tune once I took them for a spin. I tell them "It's what's inside that counts".

Your friends need to learn a few things about taste.

there's no explaining taste or opinions............

rest assured, you're neither a chuck wagon or any wanna-be......

lets count the number of copycat autos around at the end of 2004 (versus the end of 2002)

That's the nice thing about friends. At the end of the day, you go your seperate ways and talk about how stupid they are.

Really, the average person doesn't know ish about cars, so to them it's just another new style they don't understand.

It's all in jest anyway. We always pick on each other, its the little kid in all of us.

I just thought it was funny what other ppl think. Now you should hear how many times they volunteer me to drive. heehee . . . uh . . no!

That's the way it is with designs that push the envelope.

I remember when I first saw the Pontiac Aztec; I thought it was the ugliest thing ever created by humans. But after some time I.. um.. hmmm..... Crap, come to think of it, it is still the ugliest thing ever created by humans. Bad example. :wink:

Let's try this: when I first saw the FX45 I thought it was the strangest SUV I had ever seen. It made me want to look closer at it. A lot closer. I found myself channel surfing the TV, not for prime-time movies, but for FX commercials. I visited the local dealer 3 times a week. The more I investigated the more I loved it. I don't have a moral to this story, but I think the more you know about something the smarter you are. Get some smarter friends, educate them, or buy a Honda Pilot - they'll understand that.

agreed and agreed....lol

i too think the fx is a stretch in design...... thas what gravitates me to it... just as i was instantly drawn to the murano i had (stil think it has the best tail fasacia on the road today)

there was a member on the FA board that only posted to insult the fx and fx owners... his 'handle' was clowncar...... i couldnt agree more that we all drive a very menacing looking clown car....... and love every rpm of it!
