1st and last Honda for me. I'm tired of defending a car company that is going AWAY from what made them what they are today.

Wait...so you're saying that the S2000 and NSX is what made Honda what it is today? IMO, I think Honda is going BACK to what theyre good at. They're going back to their roots. Good, dependable, economic cars.

When I think Honda, I think Civic, Accord and motorbikes. I don't think: S2000 or NSX. The sports cars were never profitable for Honda. Again, I don't see what the hub-bub is..It seems that a lot of people became Honda fans AFTER the release of the S2000, and ONLY because of the S2000. I've had an old civic hatch, a prelude, an S2000, NSX and now a plain jane civic. I still think they make good cars, despite that, I'm not a Honda loyalist. If honda doesn't offer a sports car, so what? Go buy another sports car from a different company. No biggie.

So basicaly, since they released 2 sports cars, it automaticaly makes them an exciting car company? And without an S2000 or NSX, all of a sudden its a crappy company?

Some of you seem to think Honda was Ferrari or Porsche or something. Honda is, first and foremost, a mainstream automaker. Profitability is their foremost concern; changing with the economic times is their duty to their stockholders.
