Big 4 banger companies like Honda are jumping on the Green movement and bleeding off enthusiasts as they go.

Giving away cars and money to bumpstart tuning shops isn't a bad thing. I believe it makes the aftermarket grow faster for a new car .
But don't you think it's a bit off when they swap V8 engine in the tC and relocated power to the rear?
True that. Enthusiasts are like endangered species now. If carmakers decide to go green, we will be killed off soon. Hopefully, there will be something green like Tesla Roadster.
