C&D Show was on. They admitted the 00-03 models were "Too Pure of a Sports Car" and the 04 was softened to appeal to more consumers.


Nice to see the S2k on the top 10 list again.


Props to Accord....Long time winner!

I watched the show. I don't recall them saying the car was softened. They said the earlier version was too intense for a comfortable regular driver, but never called it soft. They said it was faster and has better adhesion now.

They failed to give any real numbers on performance and repeated the factory claim of 240 hp, ignoring what dyno runs are showing in higher output for the 2.2

The car makes more than 240 and 160. When is the press going to catch up?

I also take pride in the fact that 3 of the cars on the list were Honda products.

S2000, Accord, TSX.

Only Honda can claim 3 spots in Top 10.
