As if you should be talking with your meaningless / pointless bias contributions in just about every other thread...

No idea why everyone is so hung up on "racing heritage" yadda yadda yadda. Open up your eyes...majority of the Honda lineup is FWD! So i'm supposed to feel good about a sub 200hp FWD Civic Si? Give me a break.
Hyundai has probably done more for the performance car market within the last year than Honda has done in the last 10 years. Other than the S2000, have they put out an affordable RWD format? Not that I know of.
Just to enlighten you...no fanboi here of any make or model.

Dude, it was a joke. When I watched him run, he looked funny and that's why I said what I said. He runs like he's hiding from someone.
I mentioned it because I was recently talking with someone who works in the field. He was commenting about how the Honda robot works by controlling the exact position of every joint. Humans (and the walking robot he is working on), when we are just normally walking, don't actually control our joints very exactly. Instead we just swing our legs around almost like complex pendulums. We then just add impulses of energy as needed to keep our gate going. Our mental control systems don't place our steps with any sort of careful calculation. It makes our steps very efficient.
Yes, that sort of detail is off topic by... well the quality difference between the old Hyundai and modern Hyundais
