While it's possible to sticker a new SHO up to $43k does anyone really think the transaction price will be that high? I suspect the car will be trading under $40k even when well equipped.

I can sympathize with the size concern. The "or Ford" part seems just as bad as saying someone would never own an S2000 because it's "just a Honda".
I'd love to only buy American, but never will again unless something major changes w/ those manufacturers

See what I did there?
What does Honda make for an enthusiast these days? Get back to me when you have an answer that isn't FWD.

Honda has made 2 non-fwd enthusiast vehicles in my lifetime. "These days" are the same as "those days". Are you saying that a SHO is an enthusiast car? And are you seriously saying Ford is more reliable than Honda? Seriously? And yes you may get more car for your dollar. But you get less dollar for your car when you sell it, and your car lasts less time. Overall the Honda is a better value. And thats what Honda has always been about.

[QUOTE=NuncoStr8,Nov 19 2009, 09:05 PM] Unfortunately Honda and most Japanese cars can't compete with American brands (especially Ford) when it comes to room, power, reliability, and car for your dollar.
