My 2 cents
See, we ALL do it

If I'm critical of Honda, it is because I remember what they once were and see how far they've fallen.

When I got my driver's license in 1996, Honda had many vehicles I was interested in:

Del Sol
Prelude
Civic Si
Integra
NSX

Now what do they have? I have mild curiosity in the CR-Z. Not a fan of the new Si.

I just sit here and think about what Honda would be like if they had carried on with the vehicles listed above.

I think Honda makes great cars. Just not the kind I want to buy or that hold appeal to me.

No, it's an Optima by Hyundi and an RSX by Acura which is Honda in my book

In simple terms I agree, although I'm older and the offering was a bit different
I remember the 1st time I saw a CRX 1.5, it was 1984, I was riding down to the Keuka Lake cottage with Mom and Dad, I was just out of college and driving a Dodge Dart Demon, that was very, very tired. Later that year I bought my 1st nice car after I got my 1st real job, an '81 Accord Hatchback, and I loved that car. Then of course came the '71 CB 350/4, '87 CRX-Si, '90 CRX-Si, '85 CB650SC, '02 S2000, '00 VFR800Fi
The thing that really galls me though is what you failed to mention, and that is, the cars from Honda that most appeal to me, they don't make available in this country
The things that they make that would best represent them to the enthusiast like us, never get to this side of the pond
And the fact that they exist, but we Americans are not good enough to get them, well that just burns my asss

The wrapped car is an Acura. That's obvious even with clad.
No, you just don't like the stuff from Korea, it's ok, I get it
That so called whale is the KIA OPTIMA, and I believe it looks way better than the Accord shown with it
Or this, the actual Camry, which, is just as plane and boring as the Accord
