Same here. Ended up with a Toyota 4x4.

Looks like I went the other way with that one.

The FD was way ahead of it's time. Will always be one of my favorite body styles. I just wouldn't want a rotary. LS FD

That explains so much

honda needs to make a SH-AWD version of their accord coupe very badly. nothing sadder than seeing a lowered accord with wide tires front and rear (you'd think it's RWD) and suddenly their front tires screaaaach while taking off.

Yep, good point. I've always been a Honda fan myself but lately I'm not impressed with their product development direction. I'm loving Nissan now.

100 billion% agree. In fact, been talking to several folks about that lately. Even when talking to them/showing them our latest Honda's.... it's just not the same as they were, in both design, manufacturing, and quality standards. They've gotten lax and cheap IMO... like what happened to GM.

Nissan on the other hand, imo, is edgy and state of the art. They're designs scream, plus look at the Leaf beating the Volt out to market, plus their innovations are timely and simple. I mean, look at the SRM on our cars. Simple concept if you think about it.... but yet NO one implemented it on a manual tranny until now. Same thing with the push button start. It was a first on my 2007 Altima... not many manufacturer's had that in the main stream. Now everyone's doing it.

Prop's to Nissan. I just own a couple of Honda's because one I had for over 10 years, the other was out of necessity (minivan.... not getting toyota or Chrysler). But chances are, I won't be getting another Honda... a new one, at least.

Great points!

Although the S2000 came with push button start back in '00, however it still required a key. Kind of cool and lame at the same time.

I think Honda is putting SRM in their Acura TL now. lol

GM fell into a black hole in the late 90's/early 2000's. WIth the Corvette, they now lead the industry (or are in the top 3) for lowest PPH in that segment. They have called the C6 interior "an embarrassment" and are working to fix it with the C7. It remains to be seen. My take on it is that $100 more per car would have made a world of difference in the C6's interior, and yes they did get "cheap" on it.

Nissan on the other hand, imo, is edgy and state of the art. They're designs scream, plus look at the Leaf beating the Volt out to market, plus their innovations are timely and simple. I mean, look at the SRM on our cars. Simple concept if you think about it.... but yet NO one implemented it on a manual tranny until now. Same thing with the push button start. It was a first on my 2007 Altima... not many manufacturer's had that in the main stream. Now everyone's doing it. Nissan is nothing special in these areas. They use Ford engine technology in their GT-R, and their flagship sports car (not supercar--GT-R) has the least horsepower in its price-range unless we count 4-cylinders, and uses an outdated motor that they are limping along by designing new oils for it to quiet valve-train noise, etc. as a band-aid until they come out with something else. The styling is exceptional (in my opinion), but it too has love/hate proponents. It obviously does not appeal to as many people as other cars do given Nissan's sale numbers. I like it, and you like it, but we aren't entitled to our own facts.

GM had push-button/"keyless" start before Nissan did if you are accurate with your YM07 statement(C6 corvette).

Prop's to Nissan. I just own a couple of Honda's because one I had for over 10 years, the other was out of necessity (minivan.... not getting toyota or Chrysler). But chances are, I won't be getting another Honda... a new one, at least.

I will agree and disagree. Every automaker out there has made some good decisions, and not so good. IMO Ford has made the best decisions lately. They are selling cars in amounts that other makers wish they were--and THAT is the goal of a company.

Nissan appeals because they are targeting a niche market; they understand there's a few of us left who aren't ruled by MPG or Hybrid engines or the latest crap to spew out of the media. We want good looking cars, and we're willing to buy one at the right price. I guess that's why a lot of us are here with a Z.

FD...mmm, yes, still a great looking car. Too bad about the rotary engine. And honestly? I'd rather the FC.

I don't care if they're not under $70K. These are the sexiest of all time IMHO.

1. Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic

2. Ferriar 250 GTO

3. Jaguar E-Type

IC, not disagreeing with everything you said, but I think the GT-R's power is irrelevant. It's still blazing fast, and it can be modded for more power.

Personally, power matters very little to me in terms of performance. Look at what a Lotus Elise can do with a 190hp Celica engine.
