GE8 reviewed...by a GD owner (dun dun dun!)
#61
i mean i know a lot of folks do, but the inconvenience is
just crazy. try loading up kids in the back seats. try
loading up a TV or even a set of wheels/tires. no way.
G stays as my weekend touring car dedicated for motoring.
the FitS's are fun to drive AND carry cargo + whole lot of great
things. can't ask for anything more.
imho GE's look better than GD in stock form but once
modded they appear about the same goodness to me.

I hate them both, the GD looks like an 80's disco car and the GE looks like a hamster, since looks isn't a factor the GE is a better car...nice logic huh?
who cares love what you drive drive what you love. GD GE C3PO, its still the best car in its class..

(lol at my 'already'. i have had my car for 2 years and 53k.)

nah. i still see the brilliance in my gd3. besides, if they improve steering feel and refine the engine a bit more, i can still see the mkVI golf one upping the ge8.

I mean I almost had to put my beer goggles on when I went to the dealer to buy my GD and my GE. I mean these 2 fraternal twins know how to please a guy but neither is a raving beauty

Heh. The fabric in the GE is better, in my opinion, than the GD. My friend that owns a GD agrees, and she prefers her GD over my GE. She is slightly jealous that my upholstery doesn't attract "an entire cat worth" of hair, fuzz, lint, debris, etc. I've been in her car, and driven it multiple times. It picks up stuff like no other (makes for a great de-linter while driving, so I guess you can see it as a "feature").

LOL my car would be long gone by then. it's 5yrs or 30K miles (or in Subaru's case too many warranty issues) whichever comes first for me. but i've had to change the clutch pedal cover rubber 2x already....and ready to change to my 3rd.
hahahaha! they're not beauties but they are nice to look at (well, mine are).

Wait a minute, isn't this a lot like arguing about which of the Steinberg fraternal twin sisters two houses over is a little less homely.......?.

Off topic, sorry, but with the av pic the gd ge c3po post earlier, I take it you are really into Star Wars? Good movie and it does add a powerful presence to your e-persona.

Back to Eldaino,
As you live with both cars for awhile it really sinks in that every part except for a very few are completely redesigned.
The GE is a clean sheet of paper redesign.
So to me it is remarkable that the 2 cars are really a lot alike.
They kept it to evolutionary changes rather than revolutionary, bravo Honda.

Done but not well done, because you actually only 'get it' if you have extended relationships (er at least a one nighter) with both sisters and go with the one that is the best for you.

This GD v. GE thing happens a lot on Forums. when I had an S4 it was the same...B5 twin turbo VS. B6 V8(btw Audi thought so much of a blown car they are putting out a supercharged s4 this coming platform)...blah blah...I think one of the hardest things to do is to improve a car without losing its loyal owners and I think the GE pulls it off, another great example is the improvement of the Audi TT...redesigned but still maintained its aggressive nature(more so now I think)...so this rages on like "does 87 octane hurt a 91 octane recommended engine" or "will my cold air intake improve my horse power"...so I guess at the start I chose to make light of it, which I thought was much more interesting than what I just posted a few sentences back.
GD, GE, C3PO, it matters not what others think since you are the owner, and you have to drive it.

Maybe it is the what I have (or do) is better than yours
Kidding also, I like the look of the GE. It is boxy passenger space and they did a lot with it. And the gd aint bad either, it is just a plainer less daring design.
Just not a fan of the Cube/Scion low end kitchen appliance design school
Yeah Stormtrooper colors, bad ass but in a clinical sort of way.
