I like the Nismo, but I'd have trouble passing on a used C6 Z06 for the same money, too.

All I'm hearing from you is "it's not a fair comparison because Ford's performance package was effective and Nissan's wasn't."

HAHAHAHA

Shut it!

The only thing Ford makes that I would buy is the Ford GT! Now that is Epic! Chasis doesn't look big and fat...Interior is just plain awesome...Low and Mean!

Ironically the Z took a while to grow on me. I thought it looked fat as well when I first saw it. I thought the body style was nice but just seemed like it needed to go on a diet. If they can make a compact/light weight 6 or 8 and still reduce the weight of the Z in other areas I think we have a winner.

Honda needs a 30-35k sport car in my opinion. I'm pissed they went economy car route..
Hate to say it but if Honda had redid the s2k or came out with something not but ugly with actual torque that's what I would be driving.

Unfortunately Honda won't build anything fun ever again. It's part of their new design philosophy.

How to build a new model Honda:

1) Come up with a great idea

2) Ruin it

3) Production!

GM and Chrysler stepped up... Somebody has to suck now. Honda, Toyota were eager to fill that gap. Lol.

Speaking of Toyota... have you seen the crash test results for the Camry and Prius in the new "small overlap" IIHS test? Holy crap they were HORRIBLE. I was always under the impression that Toyota was pretty good at crash structure.

The driver would be absolutely MANGLED in this type of crash.

Question is... What the hell are they doing @ Toyota??? From safety leaders to safety failures? Why the inconsistency in quality??? Toyota lead the way from 1985-2002 and then???? First the loss of all viable sports cars. Then sterilizing the drive feel and performance of all Toyota's. Now they are going back to being unsafe vehicles, a reputation from the 70's. Talk about taking 5 steps forward and 10 steps back.

Absolutely agree, I told my Nissan dealer if Honda still made the S2k, I'd be at the Honda dealer right now

Just like how a base Corvette is comparable to a Ferrari 458.
