They know it though. They understand how enthusiasts feel as it's been explained to them. I believe that they will come back around to the sport compact market eventually... hopefully sooner than later.
They do support grassroots racing though with programs like HPD RacingLine. They are even talking about selling TSX shells for cheap to build race cars out of (as the TSX is currently their race car model for WC).
Of course, I heard at SEMA they weren't too pleased when Honda racers instead asked them to sell brand new EG and DC shells (or even as new cars) instead
They also try to support marque specific events like NSXPo and hopefully ITRExpo this year.
Programs like that are, IMO, the only link Honda currently has left to the enthusiast/racer market.
