I honestly don't understand why they put the Camry motor in the TC. They had a perfectly good donor motor out of the old Celica GTS. I mean they managed to shoehorn the GTS motor in the Corolla XRS.

Dude, where the hell was that video taken, I would looooooove to do something like that, that was badass!

Dude, wasnt that fricken awesome?? holy sh1t!

Yeah it put out 180hp but it revved to the sky like the AP1 S2K motor.

Then again, Honda is now the new stupid. First mistake was not making the CR-Z a true sport compact (needs a K20A under the hood). Second mistake was neutering the current Si redline by putting the 2.4L in there.

eastwest2300 · 08-29-2012, 07:28 PM

But Honda still sells a sh1t load of cars..I'd buy a Honda any day of the week. Oh wait, I have one... haha

No argument there. Honda is still selling a lot of cars and in that respect they are a success. They have been slacking in the enthusiast market (even though it is small) and the flop of the current civic just shows they are losing (lost?) direction. I mean the CEO publicly admitted they cut corners on the current Civic and are in a rush to redesign and put a new one out.

The S2K is a reminder how of cool Honda used to be...

I can definitely agree with that statement.

Thats why I'd like to find a slightly used 2003 Celica GT-S and have fun with it as a DD. Just as a fun commuter, I loved the styling on them too.

I wouldn't pay the amount it cost them to print out the contract for one...

Honda is the new (old) Hyundai.

They did the same thing with the 2010 Acura TL body I think, it came out as a redesigned body from the previous body (which I really liked) and people hated it. In 2011 a new New redesign came out, but still sucked...

Dude, I love my Honda. I've always liked hondas. I went astray and got hooked on the Eclipse, and ended up buy 4 of them, but never again. It's strictly Nissans, Infinitys, and Hondas from here on out.
