lol I didn't see that you headed the post with "Opinion".

My bad! That smoothes things over a bit.

You did hear about the "Earth Dreams" technology push coming soon, right? Honda has figured out how to integrate DI tech without the buildup and they're going to apply that and a slew of other reinvented small smart things to the next gen engines, which will be released in the new Accord.

http://world.honda.com/news/2011/411...ogy/index.html

It's not like they're reinventing the engine or anything, but it's a lot of clever little tricks applied at the same time, and to Honda's standards. I think that the backlash from the new Civic was a BIG wake up call for them, and I bet we'll see a different approach to the future lineup.

I agree. The civic was terrible, but I don't see too much of a problem with the rest of the lineup.

I am already pleased with the new Pilot and CR-V. The CR-Z is a well designed little car. The Accord is best in class. The minivan is best in class.

I would be pleased to see something along the lines of a S2000 back in the lineup, but I don't think that is going to happen with the NSX and CR-Z, along with a potential cool Si of the next civic.

They need to be directional... or swirly, as you would say.

Looks great from the front and rear. I think the side and quarter angles get a huge "meh."

swirly rims are the best thing ever... especially when they are not directional....



BTW.. the C-pillar on this car is amazing.

Am I the only person reminded of Ridge Racer when I see that NSX in red?

Zombie thread! Zombie thread!

So, I noticed something. It made me happy.







Familial resemblance is a wonderful thing.

I was wondering where in the hell the styling for the new NSX came from, because it's kind of out of left field for a Honda. I was looking at the new motorcycle lineup and I said "huh, that bike looks familiar" and it hit me. There's a shitton of bike DNA in the styling of the NSX. That is rad as ****.

The CBR's have a stupid looking beak, questionable headlights and are just a prototype that is never going to reach production because Honda sucks?

They don't even have the same "H" emblem, TAC!

The next time you revive a thread, post some actual updates, or something off topic... like TITS!
