Honda gets bashed on Facebook!

[Steve]

There’s been some buzz among car enthusiasts over the past couple days surrounding a new Facebook Page that was launched by Honda to promote their soon to be released Accord Crosstour. The company expected to be embraced lovingly by fans but instead the crowd turned ugly. Numerous comments were posted by users, stating how ugly the car was and that they’d never buy it.

Eddie Okubo of Honda then posted a comment to the page stating that he loved the new car design without disclaiming that he works for the company. Honda eventually removed the comment from Eddie, but not before the damage was done and one of the largest auto blogs had covered it. Today, the company has posted the following response on the Facebook Page:

Maybe American citizens are finally coming to their senses and realizing that foreign cars are ugly. Buy American, buy GM!!!

Innovative advertizing techniques gone wrong.
To bad it failed, they probably could have had a successful run, now it'll probably slowly die and fade from the market in a year or two.
Despite what some think Honda hasnt been in the top of the sales game for so many years because they sell junk, almost all the cars they sell have mass appeal and are reliable. Something GM hasnt been as succesful with, otherwise they wouldnt have the problems they presently have.
