deadline. Heather won you know. What bugs me is I thought there was no appeal from jdgmnts in small claims and Honda is states they are going to appeal. 10K v. 100 rebate for purchase of another lie? Opt out if you own one.

1. You do realize Honda didn't lie, right?

The EPA had a problem. How do you estimate mileage in a hybrid? Because how exactly it is driven makes a massive difference in mileage. Stop-n-go gives great mileage, but cruising around at 30 gives much worse. So the EPA came up with a formula to estimate mileage. Honda plugged their car into that formula.

Turns out the formula was wrong. The EPA has since changed their formula. But Honda didn't make the formula.

4. Not what the case was about.

5. So...she sues over not getting good enough mileage, and it's not about mileage?

Uh-huh. That makes perfect sense.

6. Welp would I expect anything different from someone who apparently hasn't read the judgment or any

of the pleadings?

7. Ah yes, yet more obfuscation

You wouldn't want to bother explaining what you think it's about. That would allow other people in on your secret knowledge. Better keep claiming it's about some vague 'other reason'.

8. It is not vague! It is in the judgment to which I referred you. The case is for the irreversible

software (firmware) loaded into the car's whatever due to battery damage which caused or further reduced mileage obtainable yet advertised, thus also reducing resale value, in a nutshell. You don't have to act like such a dick.

2. the epa sets the mpg ratings

honda can not be held liable for misleading this woman about the mpg. her car was one of the worse cars honda has made in years. she was given a crappy deal from honda and she turned that down. i`ve noticed that this model of honda is dirt cheap compared to the gasoline engine cars. if the guys in japan would have been smart they should have bought back or done a better job in fixing the problem.

my family has had 9 us assembled honda accords, several crx and delsols,and civics over the last 20 yrs. they have their problems but we would`t drive anything else

3. Read the 26 page Judgment. I intend to also hold them responsible.
