At least in the USA, they have consistently bland styling and so-so performance for silly money in their "sporty" cars. I am still driving my first Honda and I plan to make it my last. The reliability and gas mileage doesn't matter to me after a point when I'm bored with a car that tries to be more than it actually is. The irony is that I already know Honda keeps building the equivalent of the same "sporty" front-drive coupe every five years or so with nearly the same performance in every iteration. Once you've driven one bland Honda you've probably driven them all with the exception of the NSX and S2000 which were freak accidents spaced ten years apart. Bland styling, low performance, average gas mileage in respective classes and inferior drivetrain layouts. Unless it really looks like a bargain to you or you simply aren't aware of what makes a good car, why buy a Honda these days? Your mileage may vary in Europe. europerspective, Honda really only cares about selling to whatever demographic their focus groups tell them to, no matter how much profit they reap because of the hyoe created by Honda lovers and enthusiasts.

Pure and simple. I am aware of Honda's history in many forms of racing in addition to compaigning their production cars. I just want to see more variants on the S2000 drive layout and suspension philosophy in their "Si" and "Type R" vehicles.

Accord was 1977, 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2003 and a new model expected for 2008. Civic was 1973, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2001 and 2006, so expect the next model in 2011. Honda has also altered their usual 2-year facelift schedule, with the (US) Accord receiving slightly revised sedan taillights in year 2 (2005) and then all-new fasciae and rear end the third year (2006). Civic followed the same pattern with new taillights in 2003 and a heavier facelift in 2004. buenos — since the mid-1990s, Honda has switched to a 5-year cycle for their volume cars..

The civic si makes 23 less horsepower. Thats i/h/e and a trip to hondata before the si makes more power. Not to mention that the type-r is gonna have its price marked up by dealerships left and right. The si was being sold for 2-3k over msrp. The honda dealerships could tack on the same amount, probably more because of the fact every boy racer with a coffee can out the rear bumper has put "type-r" on their trunklid. I've seen honda's, nissan's and toyota's all with "type-r" all over. And why spend 26 grand for an over-priced car. It's FWD and makes less power then all it's competitors. For that price you could just go up to an sti, evo, or z and have way more fun. Why do we need a type-r anyways. The civic si makes 23 less horsepower.

The quick compacts right now are around around 250 hp. By 2010 could be closer to 300hp. Honda is going to have to figure out a way to get the "type r's" closer to 250 hp at least, if not 300. It's not going to be easy though, cause Type-R's are always naturally aspirated. with the Mazdaspeed 3, the VW GTI, WRX, and supposed turbo Lancer (non evo), this car will do nothing for Honda, and possibly weaken the ‘type-r’ badge… The quick compacts right now are around around 250 hp.

Yeah It would probably take a two and half car lead for a quarter mile Drag. but... If u put an Accord V6 vs. the Civic TypeR on a track. I gaurentee the Type R would "Spank" the accord. it all a matter of prefrence. Conclusion: This sucks. No one is gonna want this exact car by 2010. There will be so many other Hatchs and sedans at that. Although there will still be a crowd for the TypeR(TypeR is a Ricers Fantasy).

Front wheel drive + only 220 horsepower from a non-turbo engine = moving on. They will charge $25k+ for it and that's before dealers mark them up to at least $30k. Not worth it considering it's market is with people who want a cheap fast car that they can cheaply make faster. This is too little, too late for far too much. I was hoping Type R's would get the RDX Turbo engine to be competetive in the new market. Honda will make their sales targets with this, but from the specs mentioned here it sounds very disappointing for a demanding enthusiast buyer.

I agree with Z06ified, turbo that beast. Honda's N/A engines are known for producing absoutly no torque and feel downright slow at low RPM's (and when I say low RPM's I mean anything below 6,000!!). Yeah, so the car makes 220 HP, ok, but it only makes like 120lb.ft. of torque and the only way to make a quick launch is to bounce the rev-limiter thirty times then dump the clutch.
