Well, ESCUUUSE MEEE!! I have found these handles to be exactly what is needed in an area with gusts of wind up to 90 miles per hour - which is what we have been experiencing here these last few days.
Anyone that has had the wind smack the truck door into your back or worse, into your pumpkin head will appreciate the practical value of having something that you can easily grab onto and easily hold to prevent severe physical trauma when the wind is conspiring to pound you senseless.
Thank goodness the Honda engineers realized the weather would become increasingly erratic due to _________ (fill in the blank). |
While I agree about the functionality of the big handles, I think Honda should do something to make them a little less obvious. BTW- has anybody seen the big handles that come with the brand new RAV4- very similar!
