For the last decade or so, I have pretty much been buying every fun car that Honda or Acura came out with. The reason I bought these cars (NSX, Integra GSR, Prelude Si, Legend Coupe 1987 and 1990 models, etc.) was because for those vehicles Honda was making cars that would handling like a son-of-a-gun, get great fuel economy, were reliable, and had cutting edge technology. Back when Acura was first launched their slogan was 'Precision Crafted Performance'. I looked at a more recent add and it said something like, 'The true definition of luxury. Yours,' and I sadly hung my head low.
For me Honda has always been the slightly more affordable, Japanese version, of BMW. Cars that made driving FUN!! You would most likely not be bored driving a Honda. Heck, even my '90 Accord EX (which I still have) is a blast to drive, and is much more entertaining than the Toyota Camry of the same vintage. In an original ad campaign for the Acura Legend back around 1989 or 1990, it shows two brothers racing a Legend Sedan and a Legend Coupe through some empty city streets, tunnels, and other similar roads. (For those familiar with Chicago, or the 'Blues Brothers' movie, I believe the road was Lower Wacker near downtown.) This to me seemed to be the difference in buying a Honda/Acura product, as opposed to a Toyota/Leuxs product. The Acura was fun, and a performance car dressed as a sedan, whereas the Toyota product was more bland and leaned more towards isilating you from the road and everything else. This is where Honda was making itself UNIQUE in the marketplace of Japanese cars. Fun, reliable, and affordable.
Sadly, as others have said, most of the Type-R variants of Honda products are kept over in Japan, while we are getting the watered down 'everything else' cars over here. Yes, we had the Integra Type-R, but only for a short time. We have NEVER had the Civic Type-R (despite the fact they could SELL THE HELL OUT OF THEM to every 'Fast and the Furious' kid with $20,000). we have never had the Accord Type-R, RSX Type-R, or the NSX Type-R. I remember hearing that there might even be an S2000 Type-R roaming around Japan, but I am not sure of that. Honda is killing off most of what makes them unique. They eliminated the Prelude, have seemingly abandoned the NSX, and are looking to snipe out the S2000. What the heck will be left to separate them from Toyota or the other makers of boring cars?? (Disclaimer: Yes, I know Toyota/Lexus made the Supra and MR2, but it is MY opinion that the remainder of their models lack any soul at all.)
That being said, if the S2000 and NSX are phased out with no reall replacement, I quite seriously am going to search around for some nice used models from years past. On the list are the '97 Integra Type-R, '90 Legend LS Coupe, '92-'93 Integra GS-R, '90 Prelude Si 4WS, '90 CRX Si, and some more NSX's. I am truly serious about that, as I feel those cars are what really defined Honda as a car maker, and not just a maker of cars. Honda needs to remember that without the racing heritage of their founder, they would not be where they are today. To abandon that in the U.S. or JDM market is just plain foolish.
) The New NSX, HSC or named somewhat must habe a timeless design again, new technologies, maybe new concept (4 seats?
