I do prefer the European Accords to the USDM Accords, at least in terms of body styling.

I was disappointed not to see an NSX Type R on that page.

Read this quotation about the NSX. Substitute a couple words (2.0 L straight 4 for 3.2 L V6 167 mph for 170 mph), and it would also describe the S2000. Well, I didn't know the 3.2 L V6 was "made from aluminum." I did know the body panels are.
[QUOTE]With its 3.2-litre V6 engine, the NSX zips to 62mph in less than six seconds and is capable of an astounding top speed of 170mph. Mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, the engine's Grand Prix growl is music to the enthusiasts' ears as it spins effortlessly to 8,000 revs.
Yet the V6 power unit also has the rare ability to run at low speeds without suffering the mechanical tantrums often associated with exotic cars. Drawing on the our extensive Formula One World Championship pedigree, it is made from aluminum and uses special titanium

It said that the S2000 had 208 torque. Isn't it 153?

torque figures listed are in Newton*meters buddy(afterall it IS the metric system).
