Dominated by engineers, Honda can sometimes outthink itself, creating cars that are more appealing in the design lab than on the dealer's lot, like the clunky Insight. "Toyota may have engineers that aren't as smart as Honda's, but they are certainly better at listening to consumers," says Noble. John Mendel, senior vice president for American Honda, notes that there are "robust conversations" between the design and the sales sides but says the emphasis on conservation means that Honda has long anticipated consumer desires.

Nobody yet knows precisely where they are or how they work, but somewhere in the nuclei of our cells are handfuls of amino acids, arranged in a specific order, that endow us with the brainpower to outthink and outdo our closest relatives on the tree of life.

Les Bleus dominated the midfield, stringing together long sequences of complex passes that would look impossible even on a coach's drawing board. These were designed to draw opposition defenders and create spaces for David Trezeguet, the French spearhead, to slip through. When the other side refused to come out and play, the French fell into their own trap: their defenders stepped up to help the midfielders, leaving behind huge gaps. Uruguay was unable to make...
