Sounds like many fans in a particular fan-base of a team that was relevant 50 years ago.

Had a friend who told me one of his family members had a Honda that came close to the mil mark before getting in a bad accident.

I have not really had Hondas or Toyotas, but I did own an Acura MDX (reached 220k+) before I traded it in for a Lexus RX 350 (160K+).

Both Honda and Toyota are great vehicles.

It's splitting hairs to say either is definitely better than the other. I'd throw in Subaru, too. All of them are extremely reliable. Honda started out 80 or so years ago, making piston rings for Toyota, which made vehicles for the army during WW2. Never was an aircraft company.
Subaru, though, was previously the Nakajima Aircraft Company, whose aircraft included the B5N Torpedo Bomber (which could also be used as a level bomber) known by the Allies as the Kate. The Allied code names for Japanese planes gave girl names to bombers, such as Kate, Betty, and Val, and boy names to fighters, such as Zeke, Frank, and Tony.
The initial model B5N1 first saw action in the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1938. The updated B5N2 played a major role in the Attack on Pearl Harbor. One of the B5N2s carried Mitsuo Fuchida, the commander of the attack, with one high-level bomber from the carrier Hiryū, credited with sinking the American battleship Arizona. The B5N2 torpedo bombers also sank the battleships West Virginia, California, Oklahoma, and Utah. Five torpedo bombers were shot down in the first wave. Apart from this raid, the greatest successes of the B5N2 were the key roles it played in sinking the United States Navy aircraft carrier Lexington at the Battle of the Coral Sea and the aircraft carrier Hornet at the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, and the disabling of the aircraft carrier Yorktown at the Battle of Midway.

Splitting hairs it may be, but Toyota has been passed up by Subaru, Kia, Hyundai, Honda and Mazda, for overall reliability and longevity (durability). Mostly because of the issues they've had with their trucks, they've fallen behind there.

Totally lacking as a threat.

Just watched several documentaries over the weekend on WWII, including the Battle of Midway. It was very interesting and eye-opening. Thank God for Jack “Dusty” Kleiss and his skill as a dive bomber and many other brave pilots and sailors, or things could have turned out much differently.

We recently upgraded the wife's whip to a 2025 Hyundai Palisade. I'm legitimately impressed.

Both my kids' last 2 cars have been Kias...they love 'em...if I could ever get past my illogical addiction to Dodge, I'd get one myself.

I got a KIA Soul after my son bought one.

It is easy to get into and out of, which at my age is a prime consideration. - LOL

It also gets over 40 MPG on the expressway.

I think it is a solid, practical car that meets my most important requirements better than most.

My last 2008 Toyota Scion xD had 350,000 miles on it before it blew its head gasket about 3 years ago. We chose not to repair it, based on repair cost vs car value.

What kind of milage have your Hondas delivered?

I just bought a 2014 civic as a daily driver and get 39-40 mpg a. It’s like 500 miles per tank. It’s awesome

What struck me as amazing (I didn't know the Japan back story), was when I visited Seoul a few years back you would not see any Japanese cars on the road. Only Korean and a few American. This is 180 degrees opposite of other countries around here that are dominated by Toyota, Honda and now a plethora of cheap garbage EVs from China.

I like those little cars...weren't practical for either kid, since they have kids and wanted more room, but I've always liked how they look. Daughter-in-law's Dad has one and loves it.
