The Honda is just going downhill. Like I said before, I wouldn't waste my money on any Honda unless it was an s2000 or NSX. Their new civics look like crap and added what, 1HP? What a joke! I wonder what the price tag is going to be on this? My wife has a Scion TC and wants something with more power haha.

So what do they have going for them? Before they would always say "We are known for great MPG's" hmm let's see...About every company out there makes cars that get more MPG's than a Honda. They were known because they are reliable. Hmm... Nissan, Toyota and about every import is just as realiable if not more "Toyota" My point is that Hondas suck now, and will probably suck for a long time. People want cars that are nice, and have balls along with realiable and good gas mileage. I can think of so many cars that have all that, and none are Hondas.

I agree they really aren't doing anything great at all

The early days they were using advanced tech compared to the competition

Double wishbone in every car, great engine build ideas, pennies pinched where they could get away with it

Noe it's just blah when it comes to every model, and Acura is just well we can leave that whole tumor alone lol.

Honda should really head to performance oriented affordable cars with a few high mpg options. Let toyota do the hybrid crap mostly. #.02
