IS250 is a 3600 lb car with not enough power....RWD does not automatically equals to fun. Legacy is a boat, they've been getting bigger, and they are not exactly STI material in US....they also do the whole economy thing really poorly. Plain jane Impreza are floaty soft things that barely get passable fuel economy until they start using(gasp) CVT...MPG is sorta important for family cars and econoboxes...Have you driven a 4 cylinder Accord? or a Accord Coupe? Or the ugly TL? None of those car are bad to drive at all...
You cannot automatically judge something because it looks bad. The fact that most of Honda product, despite being in pretty much the beige bracket, and are still quite good to drive, with still excellent powertrain, without overtly marketing as something sporty like Mazda is trying so hard to do. Because of products like that, I think Honda has plenty of want and knowhow to not screw up something like the NSX....
They got a new vid out, and the car will run pace laps today before the Indycar race...

FYI this thing has been running in TRC(Honda's proving ground in Ohio) since early 2012...
