You guys out there want to get in the real wo rld and remember that the people of Swindon do care about the Honda factory as it employs around 3500 people and is a big contributor to the local economy. As for the comments about the lack of a supercar os S2000 in these economic times how many would they be able to sell to stay in business . What about the New Civic that will probably hit our roads late 2010
Have you seen the pictures of that which looks like Honda are answering there critics so give the guys a break at the Honda factory.

PS I own an N S X and the original insight both of which have been totally reliable and economical to run

honda’s are the thing here in the philippines. ive driven type r’s, engines swaps, and to be honest, handling never seemed to be the issue. and u know what u gotta love about a honda? the pure intensity of the engine scream at high revs. bolt on a race exhaust and tune it properly, it will make supercar v8s sound like kittens. i know u guys are not fans of custumization, but the whole point of it is creating a car with ur personality. my car is lightly tuned and the suspension stiffened. handles properly and in my opinion, even better than a type r, although not quite as powerful though. anyway, the bottomline here is, honda makes a great flatform for self expression, and the honda civic with its widely available parts watever the model, is all about standing out in a crowd of equally expressive people.

well, here in england, for almost a pocket full of change, one can book a track day and drive pretty much any supercar.. so the hands on experience, though in most cases generated by a playstation:D, isn’t as far out as you might think… and I am compelled to admit that although, and forgive my honesty, I loathe hondas a type r is more appealing than one that isn’t, why they think an nsx will change honda’s world though is truly beyond all the logic I am humble enough to conjour up but hey.. they all seem to agree..:D at the same time most pre season f1 correspondance on the f1 blog expressed concern over how ugly the new cars look…. I am forced to rest my case.. It’s like fishing.. waite for it, there are, sporadic as they are, some good chains..

oh i forgot, this nonsense of releasing new models? now tell me, how many nsx’s and civic type r’s are sold eversince they were first produced? correct me if i’m wrong, but i believe honda sold more standard honda civics in 2007 alone compared to the sales history of these so called “savers” of honda. u judge…

@32, one more thing, i just noticed that a lot of people post stuff about super cars like they’ve owned all of them, yet as a matter of fact, they cant even drive!

@30 spot on bro, supercars , regardless how utterly useless most of them are, seem to have the persuasive power of the second coming up here.. partly because most of the comments are posted by 12 year olds and partly because jezza says so and un- or underdeveloped personalities incapable of having a thought of their own, in imitating his style have nothing better to say..

i have just watched budget supercars and read all other posts above and i really disagree with european supercar fanatics. i mean, honda cars started from the honda civic. and to date, they are still building civics which keeps the car manufacturer alive. and i’m not surprised why the general public continues to buy civics. i own a 1993 honda civic. my brother owns a 1996 civic, and my dad owns a 2008 civic. now all these models perform well, have a great mileage and are realiable(i mean it, my car is 16 years old and it maintains a 29 mpg, having a 1.6 litre powerplant, does 0-60 in 8 seconds and has a top speed of 130 mph). the performance is not far off from the newer models too. and that is testament that it is a good car. i know the performance is quite average, but can other 16 year old abused cars do the same? i street race a drag race regularly since the late ninties and i have never had a major problem with my car(other than airconditioning problems and that was only once.) my whole point is, car manufacturers must be judged as a whole. i mean by reliability of their cars, build quality, pricing, and resale value. its just that most people who post here are too obsessed with horsepower and lap times. they are only a small part in judging what a car manufacturer can offer.
