Well thats my point, j series, k series, and variations of the b -series, yes all fun and fast cars but nothing mindblowing, the past year or 2 of honda tuning mag is just different paint jobs and the same cars over and over, i guess my main point is i miss honda and i am dissapointed that all we get now are bloated overweight spaceship looking cars.....
Honda could of easily built the frs/brz with a k24 etc etc...... My dream although far fetched would be a 6th gen prelude, rwd and priced under 30k but that will never happen and even if it did it would be a hybrid motor slug ( crz)

Not sure if you guys have played the fast and furious 6 game on your phone, but this is the car they have on it and its just.. ugly. Even if its got more power, I gotta be able to look at it and be happy to be inside of it.. (no pun intended)

Well a guess the Toyota 200GT which lead to the Datsun Z's weren't sports cars. Heck the Porsche 944 is almost identical to the GT-86 on paper, well those weren't sports cars either.
Civics/Integras were nice cars when double-wishboned, it somehow offset the typical FWD awkwardness with the right suspension, but this new Civic is another fast brick, Honda lost any claim to sports car when they dropped the doublewishbone and got fat in 2001. They knew this so they built the S2k, but now all they can come up with is another overpowered hot hatch. I don't think we will ever see their CEO out drifting a new design, they've lost all driver car roots.

Btw, the RS Trophy is FASTER (not behind, but in front of) than the M6, Cayman S, and C63 AMG if you believe that Nur time, but is behind all three at Tsukuba where it should actually be favored by comparison. |

this has stopped being about the cars or even being rational. by the way, if you want to criticize me for not using punctuation, it would help if you could at least end your post with a period.
