lol there you go again. You need to really understand that the majority of automobile consumers AREN'T hardcore enthusiasts and cross shop specific cars because they fall within a certain price range and they simply like them.
Enthusiasts are a vocal minority in the grand scheme of things; and even though a car is "tailored towards enthusiasts" it's really business talk for saying "we haven't forgotten about you, here's something you can appreciate too." And appreciative most of us are.

PS. you should be happy someone cross shopping an Accord with an FRS is considering buying the car. Less boy racers drifting into telephone poles means lower insurance rates, heh.
