I was told Honda doesn't want to pay the fines for non-Cafe cars. Hence why they are changing their lineup.

I think Mike has posted up an interesting video which like does a good job to support Honda's recent and continuing efforts in the sports car sagment. If you want to say it's not so or proves nothing or won't happen; lend me your crystal ball. I have stocks to buy shortly

BC thanks for the video!

 

[QUOTE=Saki GT,Dec 20 2010, 06:55 PM]I don't know the financials of the companies and I'm not going to say your point is not valid, but I've never bought a car based on the fiscal health of its manufacturer.

The S2000 was my first Honda because of what it was - not a typical Honda.

 

Robert,

You caught on

 

Fwiw, Honda got a by to use the HSV-10 after the Super GT Racing Circuit changed its rules and the old NSX Super GT chassis was no longer legal. I consider its use in racing a favor to one of Japan's top three car companies that would have been without a car to support its sponsorship contracts otherwise, and its use beyond 2010 is in doubt last I read. The fact that Honda is using the old NSX shell with the engine moved up is not very encouraging to me - more of another bandaid move to keep something in the series.

That is very different from Honda using it as a rolling test bed for a new supercar - that would be like saying the current NASCAR Chevy is going to guide the next production car - its a body shell to carry stickers more than anything.

I'm sure you guys all seen this before, but here is one of my ALL time favorite video, tribute to Mr. Senna. (He worked directly with Mr. Uehara).

If you have not seen this video, turn up the volume.

 

they can start by bringing back the lude.






sh-awd on the accord platform with an all new DOHC V6.

 

You are only without options if you look within Honda.

Honda introduced the NSX concept in 1984, six years before the NSX eventually debuted for sale. Assuming Honda is waiting for a better economy and starting from scratch, its typically at least three years to develop a car. Waiting for a better economy to be here is pointless because who knows what the next three years will hold. If this is what Honda is doing, it is a real shame. Honda used to be much more inventive and created markets rather than waited for them.

With its current efforts invested in the just released Odyssey, the 2011 Civic, and the 2012 Accord, plus its next generation of engines, maybe eventually you'll see something from Honda that resembles a sports car again. In the mean time there are plenty of options from pretty much every other automaker out there.

 

My friend's grandma's son-in-law's future daughter knows (not knows KNOWS, like an acquaintance) the assistant parts cashier at the Honda dealership (THE Honda dealership). The next S2000 will be 2400 lbs, manual only, and have a turbo inline 6.

Tell EVERYONE.

BC that other video rocks. Seen in a several times. My better half warned me not to go rip up the streets tonight after seeing it. She is so wise
