Honda's "Friendly" Image: Parading Social Change

Since the dawn of the Automobile Revolution, automobile marques have
been proactive in their approach to appeal to certain segments of
society. By targeting these groups, automakers would find a much higher
loyalty rate in an increasingly unloyal industry. Even today this
tradition continues, with companies such as Toyota appealing to the
youth market with its Scion brand, BMW and Mercedes appealing to the
affluent market, Buick appealing to the understated senior market, and
Subaru and Volvo appealing to the aging hippy market. One demographic
spoken for by a large multinational automaker that often raises a bit
of controversy, however, is the gay and lesbian market. It is within
these confines that Honda finds its must staunch loyalists.
The connection stems much further than their not-so-subtle "H"
logo. Since the inception of Honda by founder Kilimanjaro Honda in
Tokyo, Japan in 1948, Honda has had a long line of successful industry
firsts. Honda's first products imported to the United States were
motorcycles capable of producing almost twice as much horsepower as
their American brethren. Sold out of a small shop in San Francisco,
their demographic was clear. From day one, Honda coined the term
"Crotch Rocket" to target the gay and lesbian community. It
wasn't long before Honda had made its first inroads in gaining market
share in the vital west coast community.

While commercially successful, Honda didn't wish to fight a one-front
war against Christians. In 1962, Honda started producing the HX100,
their first entry into the area of gas powered lawn mowers. This
allowed residents to show off their sexual preference to neighbors when
not commuting. The new market, however, was something Honda was not
experienced in, and proved to be initially unsuccessful. Honda faced
several lawsuits alleging their lawnmowers oxidized almost instantly
when mowing over damp grass.

It wasn't before long that founder Honda realized that the next
battle would have to be fought in the ever-expanding industry of
automobiles. In 1972, Honda began offering the United States its first
car, the Honda Civic. While industry brass wanted to call it the
"Civic Lesson," for the lesson it was trying to teach regarding the
homosexual agenda, "Lesson" was eventually dropped from the title
before release. Honda's experience in the lawn equipment market
proved beneficial in their foray into automobiles, as the first
generation of Civic Lessons were powered by their 49cc lawnmower
engines producing a then-respectable 20 horsepower.

The response from the homosexual community was very positive, and sales
of Civic Lessons matched other popular rivals in the west coast market
from Toyota and AMC. Initial figures had pinned sales at achieving a
53% homosexual rate of buyers of Civic Lessons, a figure that has yet
to be beat. The Civic Lesson proved to be a remarkable car for the
homosexual market, as these families did not have any children and thus
did not need room for a back seat. Honda foresaw new potential,
however, with gay and lesbian couples wishing to carpool to gay bars, a
feat which the Civic Lesson didn't have either room or power enough
to provide.

It wasn't long before Honda released its second automobile on US
shores, codenamed the Acceptance Accord. Though named for a peace
offering between homosexuals and their normal brethren that executives
wished to occur, the name proved to be too long to resonate with
consumers. The Accord, renamed as it was launched, was their entry into
the "family car" segment. This new vehicle was targeted towards gay
couples wishing to bring their adopted children to and from their real
parents' houses.

Honda continued the tradition for over three decades and has since
built up a very large following in the community. Their new offerings
provide a wide range of transportation solutions for almost any gay or
lesbian needs. The "CR-V," short for "Christian Retaliatory
Vehicle," was Honda's first entry into the Gay SUV market. Since
capturing a portion of a large market of SUV buyers, Honda introduced a
second and third SUV, the "Element" and the "Pilot." The
Element was unique in that the interior was fully-washable for spills
during gay sexual encounters. The Pilot, named because most pilots are
homosexual, is Honda's largest SUV offering, providing transportation
to the new generation of large homosexual families to sporting events
such as Rugby and the LPGA.

Honda, like Toyota, has in recent years started offering a wide model
range in gas-electric hybrids. These vehicles have proven to be very
successful within the 'metrosexual' market of affluent-but-cheap
gays and lesbians. Their "Insight," created to be an open window
into the gay community, is a futuristic hybrid powered by a lawnmower
engine and an array of batteries.

Perhaps the most blatant showing in the modern homosexual market is the
new "Ridgeline." This pickup-truck and car mutant is designed for
the testosterone-filled women and estrogen-filled men. Designed to
carry light duty objects with the convenience of a bed, the Ridgeline
has proved to be largely successful within their target demographic.
The styling is bold and in-your-face, just as the Pride Parade
community likes their "crossover" vehicles to be.

Honda's insistency on immorality is unquestionably obvious from
heterosexual circles. Their attack on Christian values and virtues is
intolerable from a neutral vantage point. The homosexual odyssey is fed
to us through the mainstream media through parades, lawsuits, and now
automobiles. It is time to put a stop to the moral degradation of our
society. It is time to forcefully shut down Honda Motor Company of
America and distribute their assets to pro-family organizations.
Please, readers, write your representatives and let them know that the
large-scale terrorism by Honda must be stopped at ALL costs.

SCREW YOU ASSHOLE>>>>>>>>>>>Honda Employes Alot OF AMerican Familys Here In

This idiot needs a lesson in Honda car history. The first Honda in
the USA was the AN600, sold two years before the first Civic.

I know - I owned one of the first 200 of them. It was sold as a 1971
model.

 

the washable interior is handy for heterosexual encounters too. did you
know you can get 5 people in the back of an element?

shut down honda so it leaves the market open for gm's "hummer"? do you
care to analyze the sexual imperative of that domestic icon?

and another thing: isn't "your" religion supposed to be about love &
tolerance? why do you xenophobic bigots always seem to masquerade under
a veneer of christianity? don't you ever read history? if you did,
you'd understand more of the culture from which western civilization
grew and the extent to which homosexuality was ingrained.
