What on earth are Honda thinking.. they only have ONE car with any credibility, and that is already pretty old (10 years?)
I would consider the S2000 to be a very respectable car, and in its class, the Civic type-R is a great hatch. Lets face it, very few of us can afford lambo's (which are a bitch to drive) and ferrari's (which my bank acount means I cant even afford to talk about ownership) means that we still need some respect for car with performance for cheap, and the NSX was never that. If anything its biggest problem was its price. Add to that the fact that no car holds its value like a honda and you still pay alot for a 13 year old used one.
Thing is honda doenst have much right now in america (its a little better in europe, you get civic and accord type R's). Here the best civic we get is a POS 160 hp Civic Si that handles like crap, goes like a slug and looks even worse :x
The nsx was a brillant car, but I really really want to see honda enter the $29-39,000 sports car market with something more hardcore than the s2000, which has always been a roadster. Is a high output honda v-6 (300hp? 350hp?) to much to ask in a car that doesnt have 4 doors, a $100,000 price tag, or 'sporty comfort' roots?

And im a honda fan.... i do drive a civic
