This is great, but do you think these results will ever make it back to Honda. A more important question though, do they actually care? Let's face it, a the end of the day, we represent a pretty small demographic in the marketplace. Just my thoughts.

The answers to your questions are Yes and Yes. Not only do lots of people within American Honda read the site and look to it for a sample of consumer and enthusiast opinion, but many high level people in Japan keep track of it as well.
We've been very fortunate in this, ever since TOV launched the Integra Type-R straw poll back in 1995 or so (Jeff has the exact date). The information from that poll (that consumers really, really wanted a Type-R in the US) definitely made its way into Honda HQ. We're not claiming credit for bringing the Type-R, but our survey results were a confirmation for its proponents inside Honda that it was worth bringing.
Every time we go to a press event, we get asked questions about specific articles, even threads. You'd be surprised how much people inside Honda know about what goes on here.

I am really happy to see that happening. Perhaps we should create a forum just for feedbacks to AHM.

notyper is right. Within an hour of the Acura Concept's debut at least one the designers was poking around the site reading those initial comments. I know because he borrowed my login.
We are mutually grateful...

Not trying to be picky, nor doubting of your says... I'm just confused about what you said.
Why did he need to borrow your login to read TOV's people comments?
Anyone can read them anytime without loging in...

The designer may have seen Neal's take on some of the Honda/Acura designs (especially the Sport Sedan Concept) and wanted to take care of it. :D

He may have been wanting to look at our photo gallery in the exhaust notes section, which requires a login.
