I've been anxiously waiting for this thing to release. It will probably replace my accord as a daily. What are your thoughts? i just really hope it'll be available with a manual; transmission

 

You really think that is coming out?

 

I would be if it was going to be sold in the United States. It is definitely going on sale in Japan.

 

Very light but also very underpowered. I'm not sure what there is to like about it, unless you're in slow-moving traffic.

Looks neat, though!

Insider info suggests a 1.0L turbo if it comes to North America. Figure 120-150 hp...

 

Ha ha.... I was thinking Benz is increasing the engine size on the S-class by an extra 20%? Nice!

 

yeah i really hope it makes it here. Based on everything I've read suggests that it'll be the essence of an s2000 but in an even smaller package. The style look great as well

 

oh man that would be pretty sweet too

 

I like it. I doubt it will come here but I think its neat. Probably would only buy on if they were SUPER cheap but it would be a fun little runabout. reminds me of the MR-S

 

This sounds like a Miata.

 

Not super thrilled with this particular model offering. BUT, I do like that Honda seems to be starting to shift their mindset. Here they are planting the seed that they will be offering a small 'sporty' vehicle to the market. Also take into consideration their NSX replacement and their motor involvement with Formula 1 next year. The possibilities of bigger and better 'sporty' offerings will now hopefully start to take shape. Of course this is all theoretical, but it's nice to think that Honda might be positioning themselves to compete in the consumer market with the likes of Nissan, and BMW again.
