Honda Tries to Figure out how to Remove Teh Suck

[C4 A6]

Let's remove the hate in all directions. People think I'm a fanboy they've got me wrong. Friend of mine has a 500+whp neon that anyone with a brain would highly respect. The kid's running around with fart tubes thinking they are mad max is what I hate on. Pluses and minuses can be said for all car manufactures. You could 'do it wrong' with any car. Surprised this thread isn't locked already, so...

No, you ARE a fanboy, just like I am.

And why would this thread get locked? It has good discussion, not some dude coming in and yelling, "EMM KAY TREEE FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!"

[emkaytree]

For president? Is that all you have? If so, move along.

I do agree 60% of this thread has had some actual discussion. Still surprise though.

Yeah, mind blown when I found out it can send 100% of the power on the rear wheels to one side.

torque vectoring for the win!

I haven't been paying full attention but over the last page or so, you seem to be the only one causing trouble. So please see your way out if you don't have anything relevant to discuss.

About the NSA driving interest into Honda/Acura again- that is what i was talking about. It's a great boom, and I don't think they need much else. They have strayed away from the small, fun, economical cars of the past, but so has pretty much anyone who started that way (VW, I'm looking at you).

Which is why you fail at failing. I've only pointed to the obvious clowns as clowns. I've engaged in numerous other discussions here and other threads.

VW still makes small, fun, economical cars. So does honda.

You seem to just want to pick a fight. Since when is pointing out that someone daily drives a hybrid anything but being a douche? Please join the discussion, and ignore the crap, or move on. That's all I ask.

They both do, but cars more aimed at the sport segment seem to be lacking from both. For VW, they went the way of technology and features, pushing the GTI price higher and higher (and it's still based on a Golf, which is fine but they lack a Scirocco/Corrado successor in this market. Not saying that's good or bad, just the fact). For Honda, they dropped all their sporting vehicles (which is the intent of the current conversation), yes they still have the Civic Si (same vein as the GTI, based on the "lower" model, noting intently sporty).

As much as I like the Scirocco it is really just a Golf with a fancy body. If they offered it in the US why would it be better then the 3 door GTI? The current GTI/Beetle Turbo/GLI/Golf R fill the sporty compact car niche really well. Why would VW bother making a sporty FWD coupe when it would just take away sales from other cars in there line up. I do agree Honda needs something sportier in there lineup like a RWD coupe or convertible or a new Civic Type R.

I agree, but that's all the Scirocco and Prelude were, sportier versions of a regular model.

I wonder what would happen if VW made a Scirocco-like version of the Polo, or Honda, the same with the Fit. RWD would be nice for us, but even just a car that splits the line of sporty/economical more in the favor of sporty would be interesting.

Honda has the CRZ which is like the sportier version of the Fit. A sportier version of the Polo is kinda redundant because VW has the Polo GTI. Also Audi has the A1 Quattro which is based off the Polo's platform. Hot Hatches make compact sport coupes pretty pointless. Why buy a coupe when you could buy a hatch that performs just as well and is way more practical. One reason I did not get a Civic because Honda did not have a hatch version of it.
