Honda make crappy cars and live on their reputation

@Supermarine Blues Yes I have driven an S2k the previous day I drove a 612 Scaglietti which may have coloured my thoughts a bit though. I have also owned a Lamborghini Miura in the 70's and many other classic sports cars. I still think the NSX proportions look wrong. I also had a Porshe 356 and if you ever want to crap yourself driving have a freaking insane go in one of those.

love the porsche 356 deceptivley quick and great fun. I like the look of the fn2 civic especially in mugen guise. but i think all manufacturers have lost their way/balls when it comes to design and think if a car is too edgy and not mainstream it wont sell but it will look at the smart coupe.
In the future when the govt decide to reverse the free/low cost road tax for small engines/hybrids it might be cool again to own something with a decent engine.

It's always cool to own something with a decent engine

It's just not bloody financially viable at the moment!

Probably the best car of the late 60's onwards the 917. Over 40 years old and I bet it could still jobby all over most others

Stunning and if I could use the "J" word I would.

The NSX's long tail gives it exceptional high speed stability. The non-VTEC prototype was slightly shorter and some observers prefer thwt version
Neverthless, the aerodynamics prove the propprtions and thus I love the look. The depth of its abiloties from shopping to touring are enthralling. The 917 is useless unless you are at Le mans.

Mid-nineties Japanese sports cars all the way, for me.. I've had this ethos since my first 'lude, circa 2002 and I don't intend on changing it. In desperation I took a punt on an Alfa 156 2.0Ti in 2003 which all went horribly wrong so I bought an EG Civic VTi which cured my Italian-based insanity and I decided not to stray from the Japs again.

All of my family and most of my friends drive new cars, but I just put this down to them being stupid.

Paul, do you have a particularly scatalogical mind, or are you just trolling? Or have you recently dropped acid?

You commence a discussion into the merits/demerits of recent Honda road cars, attack several older ones on purely aesthetic terms, bring in a racing car in defence of your position and now have switched to the reductio as absurdum postulation as the latest logical fallacy.

You have failed to mention that Sophie Rundle has nice tits, but otherwise it's quite an achievement!
