Very true indeed.  Honda isn't even close to the company that they used to be.  Sad.

Yep, there used to be so many cool things that made Honda better. VTEC, double-wishbone suspension, HPV shocks, PGMFI injection and the overall simplicity of things. Don't get me wrong, I still love my EP3 Civic and it will be driven to practical extinction, but it to me remains the last of the "cool" models from Honda, the S2000 notwithstanding. My dream car garage has one of those in it.

I believe that Honda will realize the error of their ways eventually, perhaps when Accord & Civic sales get thumped by Sonata & Elantra sales for a couple of years, and then we will see the "H" rise again.

Richard - that's my opinion and I stand by it.

Hyundai took Honda's H and twisted it and Honda into a pretzel for resting on it's laurels for years with poor design thrown in for good measure.......they need to find their MOJO...here is a start......

THERE IS NO CURE FOR "LOTUS"......ONLY TREATMENT.....
