Who cares?!! People will always hate Honda the most, for some reason. But as long as Honda keeps being successful and steadily producing good sporty/sports cars, people's minds will sway. Toyota is not much different than Honda, except for its size, but most people do not hate Toyota; in fact, most even like it.

The S2000 is the modern day reliable version of an FD3S. Some of the best handling and excitment to come from Japan. So power is made differently, they're still two of the most comparable cars in the performance categorey. S2000 = Rx7 as Evo = STI as NSX = F355

That's stretching it. A stock 355 will rape a comparable stock NSX. The NSX better compares (and beats) the mostly unloved 348.

my point was "modibility"... i make big power with the rx7 becuase it was easier than doing it with the s2k.... but that doesn't me i like it any less.

cuz our cars are more reliable than theirs
True. I'm a huge FD fan but if you browse their forums, you'll notice that almost every thread is about a problem with the car.

I plan to own an FD one day, when I have a stable income and can afford and insure another daily driver.

If you could only keep one, which would you choose?

I've always said that if you combine the reliability, refineness, gas economy of the s2k with the classic sports car look, power potential, and handling of the FD, you'd have the ultimate car.
