Too bad they couldn't get the rest of the vehicle right.

In that regard I must agree but its not like you can get a Quest/Murano/FX35/FX45 with a manual tranny either.

Slightly off topic, but a while ago I thought I remembered GM and Honda striking a deal where GM would help Honda with transmissions and Honda would help GM with engines. Anyone else remember this? What were the specifics of the deal?

I think GM was supposed to supply diesel engines for Honda's Isuzu division while Honda gives GM their V6 engine for the Saturn.

I bought a 1999 V6 Accord last summer. Fantastic machine aside from the "clunky transmission". Have these been recalled?

Ya know, a man with your reputation should be driving a manual. I mean, it does get better mileage;):D
