Then design ugliness started to grow in the 7th gen of civic, then that became contagious throughout the Honda lines, and presently into the Acura line. The worse thing Honda has done to their cars is that all cars for the enthusiast are still FWD, no more s2000 RWD, and the cost is what you can get a used 2005 STI for. For instance A brand new 2011 civic SI is worth as much as a base model 2011 WRX. What would you choose, turbo, wide body flares, AWD or FWD, barely 200 WHP, weak suspension for around $25K.

Agree there on many levels.
7th Gen Civic onwards (2001), pretty much around the same time Subaru decided to follow a similar progressive trend, end of the 20th century marked a turning point for many Japanese manufacturers.
