Sochiro's company is now present in many kinds of racing and even dominant in some. F1, JGTC, MotoGP and Motocross; I'm sure there are others.

For sporty road cars Honda has many, any Type-R is worthy in its class and then there are the NSX and S2000. True, there's probably a Mopar that has more torque than all of them put together but how many races has it won? Honda has 50+ years of winning race heritage!! They sell Civics so they can race 900 HP V10s

...and the fact a Civic can sometimes manhandle a muscle car brings out dregs who then try to drag Honda down...
Yeah and don't forget IRL,where GM was not only beaten by Honda but also by Toyota.Amazing when you consider that Honda and Toyota are spending more money and resources in F1 than in the IRL series.

IRL, Who could forget IRL

Honda has a very different business to the big three, run by engineers instead of bean counters.

At the moment it seems that with passion comes profits.

Honda...yay or nay
In my opinion like pictures youve seen driving a honda is like the special olympics even if you win your still retarded.
the only way a honda is fast is if its not a honda
This post is pathetic and disgraceful! Honda are an excellent car manufacturer and Honda cars are great (overall). Also, show some respect for less fortunate people who are mentally retarded!

Meh. I can't stand Honda's boy racer image. Whether or not they make good cars, I can't get over that. I'm also not a huge fan of their interiors.

Now their motorcycles, on the other hand, are very interesting...I'd just have to convert them back to carburetors

Honda makes great cars. I own a 05 accord that is awesome on gas. Of course, I think the original poster was referring to the civic rice craze that seems to be loosing its following. I would guess some people were confused that they were buying an economy car... You have to admit the body designs on the accords and civics look pretty sporty.

i never said it would
its just the failure isnt due to the vtec system as you implied
if the engine blows, the weakest link was the con rods, piston rings, head gasket, cooling system bla bla bla not the vtec itself

lol that guy sounds like my friend ... he keeps raving on about how he can "feel" the vtec in his 96 accord kick in ... i keep telling him the only vtecs that actually have a performance oriented cam are the ones in the type Rs and type S' ... the sad part is he's an engineer too ... so pathetic considering i'm in business and i know 10x what he does about cars ...
