Hawaiian Chevy Dealer Attempts To Crush Honda With Suburban.......The Honda Wins

[EJ25RUN]

A Hawaiian Chevrolet dealership setup a jacked-up Suburban to crush a vintage Honda Accord to send a message to anyone buying Japanese. The message became somewhat cluttered when the tiny Honda broke the SUV.

James Severtson, the general sales manager of Island Chevrolet in Hilo, Hawaii, hired a Chevrolet Suburban monster truck to drive over a used Honda Accord before a large crowd in order to highlight the importance and strength of American automakers. Instead, Severtson highlighted domestic quality issues when the truck blew a hydraulic hose and started leaking fluid after its first pass over the Accord. A few hours later the truck was repaired and the Accord, which proved to be too tough a competitor, was replaced with a Hyundai Excel.

That's funny. Chevy is like the Honda of the domestic company line-up. I took a picture of this at Jim Ellis Chevy, but it's a Camry. Lol

Its sad how many monster SUVs are out there being driven by moms with 1-2 kids. They all have stupid excuses for driving them too.

This whole recent "American Trucks are Tuffer than the Japanee" escapade is so sad to me. Its quite embarrassing for America and the entire domestic auto industry. I mean, honestly, if "we can crush 25 year old subcompacts" is your only pitch left, its time to throw in the towel.

Honda needs to haul out a Pinto and park it on the lot.

I like how the Camry was obviously crushed before they winched that Chevy onto the top of it. Well, it most likely had ramps to get the truck on top of it, because we all know that a factory truck doesn't have the ground clearance to get over the doors of any Camry.
I think the better challenge would be putting an American made truck to the same stress tests as their Japanese counterparts, as seen in the greatest tv show ever made, Top Gear.

Actually, the number of "monster" SUVs and trucks out there is rediculous. I almost got run off the road the other week by some jack@ss in a jacked-up Chevy whatthef*ck because he couldn't see me when he tried to change lanes.
