possible competition

cannot help but wonder what honda thinks of all of this attention
over the new frs/brz platform.i believe they will attempt to compete at some point.they definitely have the resources and engineering to design and market their own "economical" rear drive platform. thoughts? comments?

probably nothing. the miata had a monopoly back in the 90s and honda's response to it was the del sol.

They lost their edge after 2010, they have no wow cars! 2012 is one of the worst cars on the market. The new accord has a genesis sedan 2009 rear end but awful interior. Their cars are now dull.

as mentioned,they do seem to f**k it up though! the del sol
was uninspiring,and the s2000 was NOT a car for the average "shmuck"
payin' the bills,as it had a lofty price tag!..just sayin'

oh, knowing honda, i'm sure the new s2000, if they do make it, will be a hybrid. heck, the new nsx will be a hybrid awd...

Toyota + Subaru? I wouldn't be upset if Honda felt the need to shack up with Nissan and spit out a 200SX.
