Honda continues to lose its way

I agree, it is probably the formula that Honda needs to go after with its next sports car incarnation. A mini-s2k would get people excited.

i'm not holding my breath for that one... Also, Honda was not known for creating stupid fast cars... Not now, not before, not ever... They build their cars in just the right amount of power and combine it with great handling and reliability... Even the type Rs are not stupid fast. The type Rs are also widely popular due to their handling and a little bit more power than their regular counterpart.
Those stupid fast Honda you see are modded. Not stock ones. But I agree that their engines are not much more fun then they used to be. Even the K series are not as much fun as the B series.. But I can't blame Honda for that... Blame the emission standard and gas prices...

Why do people feel a need to compare a 2 door V8 powered car that is an upgraded visual copy of a car that was first marketed over 40 years ago, to a FWD 1500cc station wagon or a rear wheel drive collaboration between 2 of a sports car.. This isn't a site for owners of any of any other car than the 2 generations of Honda Fits.. This thread shouldn't even exist.

The NSX to me isn't so much like "yeah but the NSX was a racecar so Honda = racecar!" it's more that they cared enough to create something like that. I guarantee it made them little to no money in the scheme of things, but it showed passion and interest, something that's obviously missing these days.
Here's hoping that the Ft-86/BRZ is a game changer in the entry level sports car market. People are excited about it and that excites me more than the car itself.
Since everybody's going retro these days, why not bring back the S600/800, make it Miata size, 160hp. Not like the S2000. Make it smaller and cheaper. S1600. Cheaper is the keyword.

Given your car history and how "no Honda will come close" to your Camaro, why bother being concerned with Honda at all because you will most likely never get one, especially when there are options out there like the BRZ/FRS like you said?

So just because this is a Honda Fit forum, this thread is necessary? Why not post this on all the other Honda forums too and see what they think? I'm sure they will agree with you.

Well, little one, the statement that no Honda will come close to the Camaro, was in context, about acceleration. And if you don't like the thread, don't read it. You are overly defensive of your Honda God.

Hahaha I guess I shouldn't have expected a real answer from a troll. Just keep on deflecting and regurgitating the same "Honda God" garbage, you've run out of material son. What else you got for me?
#193
If you wanted Honda to succeed, you would want them to improve. You are so myoptic, that you refuse to recognise that it is falling behind, and has, apparently no interest in capturing market share or expanding sales for the future. So, who wants Honda to grow, me, or you with your head buried in the sand?

What exactly is a descent car? A car that's descending? /sarcasm

You're still equating growth with more horsepower, and maybe in Detroit that's the only way they can prosper. But how long is that going to last? I foresee nothing but stricter emissions and higher MPG laws in the future, so who's got their head buried in the sand? Maybe then, you will finally be forced to buy a Honda.

Once again, you're retreading the same ground that 555 already answered in post #174. Honda is still doing very good for itself.

I will determine who I choose to communicate with. When someone begins to spout the greenie bs, they are bringing the poilitics in. I will respond. If you don't like it, go read a good Thomas The Train book.
