Dodge Viper, Challenger, Charger?
Even the Kia Soul has more character than most of Honda's lineup.

the above statement make it sound like DC2 , s2k, B16 SIR, DC5 R, and NSX were all shitty cars that was at the buttom of the car manufacture during its time. That cant race shit around the track nor keep up with other competitors car around the track.

Tell me how is it that hyundai is able to create a RWD genesis coupe with budget pricing, while honda can only make FWD civic SI or designing huge grill plates for Acura.
I drive a Honda myself, I like my car. But Honda as a company isnt exciting anymore.

Oh, this goes for any other car manufactures as well.
If nissan had stopped the development on the R35, I would be upset but not pissed. | I'm kinda upset with cancellation of the NSX. I wanted them to resurrect it and at the same time stay true to its platform (mid-engine, RWD). When the concept came out, it was still nice but lost the "soul" of the NSX. They should've developed the HSC. 
They didn't rule out an AWD V10 NSX. Haha...Veyron competition!!

It shows that all Honda cares about is making money. They figure out exactly what will sell the most and that is all they build.
I'd say VW is one of the coolest car companies for one reason... Bugatti..
They are losing so much money building that car but they did it just to say they could do it (I know Bugatti isnt VW.. but its owned by VW so pretty much VW is paying the bill..)

penner
every company is in for the money, if they werent than what are they in for? charity? whatever sells, they make more and target the consumers
with this shitty economy, the automobile's focus right now would be something more fuel efficient. V10 / v12 really wouldnt be practical nor something 450hp +. Hence why a lot of smaller 4 banger are still running around. Yaris, Fit, Versa, Sentra, Smart car, and minis

reliablity ever heard? guess not thats why you got a 300C | 3 years of driving this thing hard and it has never given me a problem. but hey when it does fall apart. ill be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy farther down the road than an rsx. if i wanted a vehicle that i planned to drive 10+ years. ill buy a civic for sure. but i dont see that happening anytime in the future.
seriously though. you do have to keep ur revs at 5500rpm to get up hills right??????

Even the veyron's for money.
It's the technology that bugatti develops that helps the company makes money in the future.
It's call R&D.

quit being a sarcastic pig 3000-3500rpm if that satisfy your needs
i do admite honda doesnt make exciting cars like they use to. Now it is boring as fuck, and i assure myself my next one will definitely not be a honda
like i mentioned, the trends of this automobile scene seems to be whatever the crowd wants/afford. And not everyone can afford 90-100 dollar per fill on 92 octane.
with the integra gone, s2000, nsx. Honda really doesnt have much left. Same with toyota. They dropped the celica and supra (mr2?)

IF they plan to keep the car anywhere from 5-15 years? jap would be a better and safer choice.
Honestly, lots of relatives and friends among me had numerous problems with A4, A6, ML, X5, 7 series etc

I'm not saying they shouldnt be trying to make money..
Just most brands have a "cool" car that sorta stands out that they dont really make much money from but they make it anyways..

they dont sell as many vehicles as the do for being dumb asses.

Now i said if Honda continued with their original route like their NSX project would it still be boring as FUCK and it was gonna be a V10 with 550hp??
Isnt the reason why Toyota and NIssan didnt get labeled boring as fuck category by you because they have IS-F and GTR?

with the integra gone, s2000, nsx. Honda really doesnt have much left. Same with toyota. They dropped the celica and supra (mr2?) | My 4.0L V8 with RWD Lexus gets up Boundary at 2000rpms barely touching the throttle, and it's still gaining speed. For an engine that was developed during the 80's and released in 89, I get about 400 to the tank at $70 worth of 91. Vtec what?
You forget that theres still the IS and the SC430.
Acura will get nowhere fast without V8 and RWD.
Look at Lexus, the pinnacle of Luxury Japanese cars. Started with V8 and RWD, and sticking with it all the way through. Even Infiniti and Hyundai are following suit.

Toyota is probably the most boring car maker from Japan, not Honda. But, boring is what the market wants, I guess.
Acura lost its way in the mid-1990s; the brand was no longer the same once they ditched the names and went to alpha-numeric designations. I have had the chance to drive both the Legend and Vigor (a 6-speed Type-II coupe and a 5-speed GS respectively) in the last month - great cars even today.
The current Acuras are an abomination with horrible styling.
