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.

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.

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.

Dude, Infinity makes an amazing vehicle, albeit its still Nissan.. damn they are soooo nice!

At least Honda is taking one step in the right direction with the new NSX. It looks freaking amazing.
