Honda needs to design a sports car

[IAMVTEC]

Current Hondas dont really look ugly , they actually look ok. But the range is missing a sports car with proper sports car dimensions. Who agrees

[|N|]

NSX is a honda

CTR ?

[IAMVTEC]

Come on be realistic, NSX isnt even sold anymore.

CTR isnt really a sports car , its a sports version of an economy hatch, its a damn civic!

How fast a car goes doesnt make it a sports car. A monkey can throw a V8 and two turbos in a small chassis and make it fast. A sports car has to look and feel ridiculous, because it was designed from the ground up to be ridiculous.

OK ridiculous may not be exact term, but at least different from practical or sensible. A civic or an accord will never be a sports car.

I know S2000 exists, but what about a non convertible!

Next NSX?

Why don't you put a deposit down to buy one without test driving first? Then Honda Australia will push for it to be sold here. :p

[ECU-MAN]

moved

[turtleEK1]

I do agree... but its just how Honda want to work the market...

Obviously, us japanese performance based enthusiests are the minority of the market. The majority want fuel economy, safety, interior room, practicality and a budget.

You never know though, since Mazda have been going crazy with the MPS range, Mitsubishi with their sports ranges etc... plus the prices of fuel, all perfomance minded people might be looking to 4 cylinders... and Honda could change their views...

or I have no idea what I'm on about... :D

[TheSaint]

i agree...

bring back the integra... re-design the prelude... and push the s2000 up between the lude and the nsx, and bring the nsx down in price =D

one can only pray

[Klayemore]

Why make a new sports car when we still have the CRX? :p

[CRXUAL]

i read once that honda made a HSC lol sounds stupid but yeh which was suppose to be better than the NSX

[aaronng]

That was a concept. Just to try to get a grip on the shape of the new NSX. Unfortunately, Honda decided to do an FR for the next NSX, so the HSC design won't be used.

[CRXUAL]

ohhh k fair enuf

[steve88]

[destrukshn]

[Vinnie]

Toyota Japan just released the Blade Master, which is a Corolla-sized car with the Aurion's 200kW engine. :)

[steve88]

i hear alot of hype people reckon the current wave of Mazda 2's will be like the next generations of car enthusiasts toys (like how we in 2007 would go do up cars from mid-late 90s)

nah i dont mean right now, but go wiki the nissan and honda, youll see honda has like the nsx, civic (not really), integra (kinda), prelude (kinda), accord (more luxury), s2000, crx del sol (not really)....

nissan has the NX, 180sx, 200sx (silvia), 240SX | 240Z | 280ZX | 300ZX | 350Z , GT-R, skyline, r390, and perhaps pintara

[didz]

this thread only deserves a lol.

DC2R, DC5R, EM1, s2000 etc...

[aaronng]

If you are going to break down the Nissans by generation, then Honda will have more cars. And 180sx and 240sx? SAME cars but 240SX is sold in the US with a crappy engine.

[steve88]

im probably wrong, and open too critisism. but i mean all my mates drive nissans, so i kinda start getting false allusions that all nissan more sports cars

i think i got your point, u saying some of those nissans i listed there is same as saying DC2, DC5 etC?

[aaronng]

Some you listed are older generations, like the DC2 and DC5, but some of the cars listed are the same generation but different model, equivalent to a DC5R and DC5S. And some like the R390, you can't buy at all even if you had the US$1,000,000 for it.

Well comparing Nissan n Honda..
most of Nissan cars are turbo charge neway.. and Honda is N/A Japanese samurai kinda way. doesnt need a good fire arms just a sword that cut through the enemy :p

[Vinnie]

^honda brought samurai swords to nissans gun fight :p

i jus feel a bit frustrated when honda aust seems to pride itself on hondas racing heritage yet enthusiasts here are getting a raw deal these days (apart from a watered down ctr)

[aaronng]

^honda brought samurai swords to nissans gun fight :p

Well, the Nissans would win in long range fights, but when the fight gets up close, the Hondas will win. Horses for courses. :)

[johnprocter]

honda needs to make a new integra type R :D

[steve88]

crx type R ;)
