I thought the same thing Soichiro Honda is turning in his grave, he hasn't even been gone that long and his legacy and everything he built the company on is gone.
No NSX, S2k, Integra, CRX, Del-Sol, then there is the crappy UK designed Civic Type-R that doesn't fit the legacy - torsion beam suspension for a big boot WTF, should be double wishbone with no carpet cause that ads weight!

S2000 not fuel efficient enough WTF? I am about to move over an hours drive from work and if I still had my Ford XR6 Turbo gas guzzler it would not be happening.

CRX Targa replacement a no show..................AGAIN! I guess if you want a Honda with a wind in the hair experience now you may as well buy a Jazz with a sunroof and sit on a milk crate?

LEGEND RWD V8, or any RWD luxury saloon at all? I guess Hondas idea of luxury now is an Accord with boofy sheepskin seat covers, 200mm ground clearance and a bowls hat on the rear parcel shelf. Yup that will take the fight up to Mercedes, BMW and Lexus........

Soichiro Honda is gonna throw a lightning bolt up someones ass for this, he would be turning in his grave!

Whats next? Honda Civics with CT110 postie bike motors?

FFS!

If you feel that Honda has let you down ,BUY...... another ......MAKE .......of car it's that simple!?!
Because you give me the impression that you are too hardcore for a FN2,buy an EP3 import.A number of people on OZHONDA forums have bought that particular Type R and with little modification,have achieved sub-14 secs in 1/4 mile.But remember, the FD2 which is a faster and better handling car than the EP3,could be available as a grey import in about two years or so.
The S2000 great car but if I had a male passenger I wouldn't dare drive with the top down because well...it looks a bit sus. if you know what I mean? ;)
The S15 spec-r is a good car maybe give that a go?
I know that some of the decisions(by Honda) are not popular with enthuasists but in these tough times Honda is trying to position itself in world markets the best it can.
