    That's a terrible joke, actually it's very close.  The Asuna Sunfire is
the sister car to the Geo Storm and Isuzu Impulse, and maybe also the Nissan
NX coupe.  I don't think the Asuna was ever sent to the states.  It is owned
underneath the Isuzu name by GM and that's how they can claim the Sunfire
name for the Pontiac.  I can't remember which one, but one of them was even
offered with AWD.  The Asuna has a badge on it that says "Handling by
Lotus".  They're a 1.8L 16V where the rear seats are nearly entirely for
looking at.

    Here is what one might look like if you were really rich and bored with
your Honda.  I wouldn't be caught dead in this one.  The Asuna has the 1.8.
That's the main difference.

Maybe it is a variation of the  Henway joke?

(old joke about cars: "Yeah, I have seen lots of cars in my life, the most
interesting was a Henway."   Reply: "Oh, what's a Henway?"   Answer: "About
2 pounds.")

Arf Arf Arf,

The Asuna variation would go like this:

"What's an Asuna?"    "My old Audi is an Asuna.....Asunavabitch to keep
running."

lower-case arf arf arf.
