Bah, Honda, Accura, it's all the same

And for the record, no, I cannot.  Those treads make the ATV look a bit like a mini Mammoth tank though.

Wrong.

• Acura is owned by Honda. Or in essence, Honda's 'luxury' car line in America.
• In Japan, and most every other country besides America, where the Acura nameplate doesn't exist, it's called the Honda Integra.
• In Japan, the RSX is still called the Integra. They just seperate it by it's newer chassis code (DC5).

I own an Integra, and the gascap, motor, and just about every piece besides the nameplate and manual are marked 'Honda.'

Do a little research first. :rolleyes:

Ummmm, yeah it's exactly how it goes.  look at my quote again.  I said that Honda doesn't make Integras; Acura does.  Honda owns the name rights of Integra, and is the parent company of Acura, but Acura still produces the car, so therefore it's an Acura Integra, not a Honda Integra.  The way you're thinking is you call the car by the top name holder of the car.

If that was the case, then it wouldn't be a Ferrari Enzo, it would be a Fiat Enzo.  But have you ever heard anyone call it a Fiat Enzo?  (Fiat owns Ferrari) Of course not, it's a Ferrari Enzo.  Same goes with Lamborghini.  Since Volkswagen owns Audi, which in turn owns Lamborghini, it's not a Volkswagen Gallardo, or even an Audi Gallardo:  It's a Lamborghini Gallardo.

In the car industry, a car's classified under the name of the maker of the car, not the name holder.

so my quote was right:  Honda doesn't make Integras; Acura does.  Honda owns the rights to them, since it owns Acura, but Acura makes them.

You do some research first.

although since Honda does make straight Integras in Asia (as far as i know) your way of saying it could be right.  i'm talking from the America stance here you know :-/

Integras weren't made in America, only in Japan. (95% in Japan, 5% from N. America) They were shipped.

And everyone else: If you don't care, stop reading. Noone's forcing it upon you and you're just spamming.

But.. but.. it's what I do best! If you don't like my spamming, then don't read it. Otherwise....

Yep, that's an M113.

But back to the APC-on-road scenario, I have a video I simply must post for you all when I get back Wednesday.

I filmed this clip 2 years ago, along one of the main highways in Israel, running between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv. Since it cuts across part of Judea and Samaria, there are "security measures" in place. We were one of those measures (although I must admit that riding on the highway like that in an M113 APC was a bit unusual at that time of day).

No...

[The Jackal]

I'd like to mention something that may have already been said, but meh...

 To use an APC/MBT on British roads, you have to:

  1) Possess a full driver's license.
  2) Put rubber bits between the track teeth so that they don't chew up the road.

 That's all you need. There's a bloke in London who drives around on a bright-yellow Abbot SPG.

Let me clarify something that doesn't really need to be clarified, but meh: The APC in the pic is, at its core, an M113. I see a few non-"standard" modifications from here, mainly the two boxes on top, but unless someone took the physical design of the M113 and made a "different" APC out of it, it's an M113. And even if someone did copy the M113, my statement still stands: that's a picture of an APC that, at its core, is an M113.

I have many, many long hours of experience inside and around M113s. What do you have to back up your statement?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

The fact that it's an Fv432, for one.
The M113 is a full foot taller.

Just because it looks a bit like an M113 doesn't mean it is one. There's a whole generation of APCs that look like that, simply because that was the style at the time. An armoured box designed to ferry troops about.

Hmm. Seems the Fv43x line of vehicles are based off the M113 APC. So we're both right - it ain't an M113, but it is based off the M113. My apologies.
