I think Honda my have learned something from the French nuts at Renault
No one is a hater of torsion beam, just the one on the FN2

In fact that fifthgear raced the EP3 and FN2 and the nugget got whipped!

And thats the model it replaced. To make it worse, they raced the FD2R and it too beat the nugget again!

I personally like the FN2R. Its got good looks and is relatively fast. Its good for what itis made for. Lets face it, how many people here actually go to the track where maximum handling is utilised?? and street racing is BAD!....mmmmmkay!

Anyway, my vote is DC5, but for some people having a new car is important for various reasons like leases etc......then your forgiven for buying the nugget
