"Respect your elders" with respect to the AP1 being the predecessor of the Ap2.... Wasn't referring to myself. I'll spell things out for you better...

Perhaps if you were more intelligent and less of a blowhard, it might have been clearer.

9000k was considered mindboggling......
Whoa, your AP1 went all the way up to 9000000 RPMs!!! Did Honda make some super limited edition for you?!? Mind boggling indeed.

Ah... I get it... Sarcasm....

Seriously... what exactly don't you understand about the F20c accolades and respect shown by automotive industry????
People were really excited about this car when it first came out... I don't think you are aware of the hoopla at the time because even if you are an AP2 person now, you'd understand what I am talking about and wouldn't need to argue the unarguable point I am making.

Not for nothing, but this was my first response in this thread... was it really that unreasonable...???

It almost sounds as if the differences between the AP1 and Ap2 you owned were as if you were comparing a Luxury Sedan to a sub compact.... I mean... I get the tweaks that Honda made over the years added to comfort and stability etc, but they were just that "tweaks". They are far more alike than different..
...Not to mention that most of the world kept the F20c engine throughout the years.

9,000rpm is cool and all but #DBWmasterrace. Flashpro is awesome, as is torque. I like owning the faster car

I've noticed in SoCal over the last year as well. When I was shopping for my AP2 it was near impossible to find one with under 40k for under $20k and now there are quite a few decent ones popping up.

I get that the AP1 was/is/will be regarded as a great car. Never disagreed with that, read anything I've posted and prove me wrong. What I (and not only I) disagree with is you and how you specifically present your information. Your posts continue make it obvious you need validation. Not only that, the information you state as fact is not fact a lot of the time. You mention the "precipitous" drop in sales with no basis for that information. And when actual numbers are posted, all you do is mention a "graph" and never provide it to support your argument. Your "enthusiasm" for the AP1 would be fine if you removed your ego from it.

And 9000k = 9000000, just fyi.

Wow, really going out of your way... Obvious typo 9000..... sorry for "confusion".... Ego has nothing to do with anything... these threads keep popping up and the debate continues and nothing I originally said was directed with personal attacks. You guys go there cuz you don't like how I say what I say..... HTFU..... seriously...

And sales figures did drop.... not as "precipitously" (another faux pas) as I thought by 2005 but soon thereafter.. And the figures quoted for 2005 were lower in other estimates btw...
