ahhh finally you left. Maybe now we wont have to hear so much bitching about Honda? Maybe zero hopefully.

I woulda got the subby version imo...but great car and congrats.

Scion seems like a punk kids car and might attract some unwanted attention so be weary.

PBH..........

Don't be such an ASS CLOWN......If you go to the Mens store and they don't have a Leather Sports coat, then you go to Nordstroms.......It's that simple, Honda doesn't have what DCR wants, I don't blame him and feel he is making the right move. I would do the same if I didn't have 2 kids..........He is not displaying any disloyalty rather maybe Honda is displaying the disloyalty to him.......and many others.........There is no reason Honda can't produce a car like this.

umm i said "great car and congrats"....didn't you read? If I was him I woulda got the same dam car....well maybe BRZ but same difference.

I dont think honda is showing disloyalty to people like dcr or anyone else...Honda is being Honda. An tiny efficient engineering company which is trying to stay in business and plan for the next 100 years. They don't plan for the next 10 years they go way ahead. If you plan for the next 10 your outta business on the 11th.

You wait in 50 years *well 38yrs* when Honda celebrates its Racing History and Heritage and the tribute S3000 comes out.

Then DCR and others like him will return!

btw your are very wrong when you say "no reason Honda can't build this" LOLOLOLOLOL

Honda does not have the cash to BLOW to make a car like this. PERIOD!

HOWWWWWW can Toyota... the biggest company in LIFE need to partner up with Fuji to make this???? Its simple its COST. Get your facts straight b4 u call me an ass clown. Honda can NOT produce a car like this and make good business model.

Remember the S2k was supposed to be a 1 year thing. But to help recover the massive losses they extended and extended and extended its life.

PBH..........

LMAO...........

1st, sure, I will give you that you said "Congratz" but what ever complement you tossed, you erased it with the other unkind words you used. There is a difference in when DCR expresses his disappointment with Honda. So what you did was basically back hand your bitch, insult her and then give her a kiss and say you loved her..........then as the PoPo has you cuffed and is carting you to the Crown Vic......You say......But I told her I loved her.......forgetting everything else you did.......

2nd, Honda COULD build this car, they just don't want to. It's not who they are right now.

3rd, This Scion/Subie is no feat of engineering..........Toyota didn't need Subaru to partner with them because of cost, if anything Subaru needed Toyota AS THEY SHARE PLANTS IN INDY to cut cost............this is a car that is not rocket science, it's really not a special car in the sense of a S2000 or something like that, don't get me wrong, it's hot as hell, but because it's a front engine rear drive coupe......that has a fun factor of 20 on a 1-10 scale..........but it didn't take that much R&D........

4th, If Honda focused on a car like this over the FCX, nobody would be aboe to keep up with them, but that is not who they are..........at least not now...........

As I said before, they could easily build a car to compete/better the BRZ/FRS, but they choose not to and instead foucs on hybrids/EV/etc. That is what makes it so vexing. If only they used the money wasted on the ZDX for a BRZ/FRS competitor instead...

Easily make a car to compete/better the FRS/BRZ? Really? Its that easy?

You can't say they are focusing on hybrids when their hybrids are not very good the Insight, CR-V and now ILX are average at best behind Ford, Toyota, Hyundai etc. So its not like all that engineering went into world class hybrids.

Then to say they wasted money on the ZDX is funny b/c people said "well the ZDX was close to the MDX so no money was spent".

So which is it? The fact is Honda has clearly ignored this market that Hyundai, Nissan and now Toyota are in. RWD sports cars.

There will be no reversal of the "glory days". The competition now all offers sports/sporty cars, RWD, turbos, V-8s, hybrids etc. I mean a Mustang V-6 gets 310hp or so and 31MPG on the highway.

Honda still is very profitable and maybe that is now all they care about. So if you want to be a Honda enthusiast, own some stock. :)
