    if you think that's a 'lemon', don't even think about looking up honda ridgeline frame rot...

    or how about the currently open recalls on ALL GM v8's...

    the cake is a lie, and so is 'reliability'.

    to be fair, even if the frame rots out, the motor still works, so they can still call it reliable...
