If you had to choose between ANY Honda or ANY BMW, Would you choose the Hondas or the BMWs tell why :wink:

mallon · Nov 23, 2003, 8:38 AM

im not sure you can compare these cars easily. People who want Hondas are very different to those who want BM's.

Raith83 · Nov 23, 2003, 10:20 AM

I think the Honda NSX is alot cooler than anything from BMW, especially the newly desinged one. I think I'd have a Honda or Acura NSX over all. But I'll agree with Mallon, this is a very weird comparison. Though Acura is making some sedans that might be comparable to certain bimmers.

Dutchmarshall · Nov 23, 2003, 2:44 PM

oh thats hard :?
for Class i really chose BMW
but for Speed i rather have the New NSX

BluCamSS · Nov 23, 2003, 2:59 PM

BMW for sure, Honda can keep their junk.

DarkVenom666 · Nov 23, 2003, 3:24 PM

Depends... If i could have the M3 GTR, i'd take that one over any Honda. But if i couldn't, i'd take a Honda NSX-R over any other BMW.

even taking into account a CSL or GTR?

When the M6 comes out, this will be my choice. Until then, I must admit that the NSX-R tempts me... I'd have a hard time choosing between the NSX-R and the M3.

Yeah that M6 should be real nice.

Ghalos · Nov 24, 2003, 9:34 AM

This is a strange comparo, ummm...I haven't seen the new NSX yet, so I can't pass judgement there, though if it's ANYTHING like the current one, d-a-m-n...hehehe...in the meantime, since i saw a 2002 M5 saturday, and he pulled away real fast, I'll settle for BMW, hell, gimme an onlder 850Csi, and it's MCLAREN F1-BASED engine, and yeah, BMW...

Raith83 · Nov 24, 2003, 1:12 PM

I'll definitly agree this is a strange comparo. Still, I'm with the Hoinda/Acura choice. Mostly because of overall value. BMW makes some really awesome cars, but for what you're paying for, I think that Acura is much more of a deal. Also, I like the Japanese styling better as well. I can afford Honda/Acuras, thats a factor, also this;
comparably priced,

2004 Acura TL = $33,195
3.2-liter V-6
270 hp 238 lb-ft of torque
Front wheel drive(only real drawback)
six speed manual
better fuel economy
more standard options
one pound lighter! but still larger in every dimension
more passanger room + more cargo volume

2004 BMW 330xi = $41,745
3.0-liter I-6
225 hp 214 lb-ft of torque
Rear wheel drive
six speed manual

so you get ALOT more for your money with The Acura, thats another big factor in my decision.

99 si trbo · Nov 24, 2003, 6:52 PM

Raith, you really just summed up everything I was going to say in that post

. Anyways I totally agree that Honda/Acura is the better value and turns out just as GOOD cars as BMW does. Why would I pay 30K + for a 3 series when i can get a TSX for under 30K.

Schumi · Nov 24, 2003, 8:09 PM

BMW for me please.Better engines, better perfomance, better looking and it is European.

Alfa Romeo 156 GTA · Nov 25, 2003, 9:21 AM

Honda S2000 for me pleasee!!!

That car is really a own designed car to me , and finally they made a GREAT looking car.
It can handles VERY high revv's! beautifull and it's quite fast and really good tune able!

Honda S2000 FOR ME

Ciao , Danny!

I was just wondering if you were serious, or if this was a typo? The xi means its the all wheel drive. The reason the BMW costs more than the Acura is the same reason a Honda costs more then a Hyundai. It’s not at the same level. You’re paying for the BMW badge. If people would pay that for that level Acura then they would charge it.
