It's like Honda_2 is an "Instance" of Honda_1, rather than just a copy.

Yes. Objects are "Passed by reference" (think of it as two references, sharing the object in question between them).

In order to "copy" or "clone" an object you could have a clone method, and use it like this:

Type Car
	Field Color:String

	Method deepClone:Car()
		Local temp:Car = New car
		temp.Color = Color
		Return temp
	End Method
End Type


Honda_1:Car = New Car

Honda_1.Color = "Red"

Honda_2:Car = Honda_1.deepClone()

Honda_1.Color = "Blue"

Print Honda_1.Color
Print Honda_2.Color
