Will Honda respond to the GTR?

[CrackerTeg]

You gotta think though. The rest of the world is almost in the same slump as we are. The world economy is down. And I'm with you as far as not knowing Nissan's sales worldwide, but one can venture to guess they're doing about the same as here.

true but i love hondas and wish there was something that could compete. i know i would do everything i could to afford one.

This was killed for now?

YES! someone caught it. that is honda's new s2000. i think it will be coming out 2010 or 2011. but the nsx did get cancelled.

when i worked at the honda alliston manufacturing plant here in ontario. i did learn that in comparison to other manufactures Honda is a very small company. believe it or not. i mean look at Toyota, they got three brands (toyota, lexus, and scion) plus all of the commercial vehicles and forklifts. look at nissan they got a car to compare with anyone. toyota = avalon, nissan = maxima, honda = ?. even mitsubishi makes power equipment and commercial trucks. its a shame but thats why honda has to discontinue vehicles from time to time to give us something new. sometimes its a good thing tho. for example, the TSX was the replacement for the prelude. and the rdx was the replacement for the RSX.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I must disagree. The TSX filled the void that the 4 door Integra left when it was discontinued. The RSX replaced the integra and nothing replaced the RSX cause Honda has the civic SI's which, I may be wrong, successfully took over the RSX sales.

Dude, whatever you're smoking, I want some of that shit!!  You've obviously been getting the good stuff.

Sure, Honda doesn't offer a "full size" sedan under the "Honda" brand, but the Accord is the closest to that.  There's also the RL, which I would put in the same class as the Avalon and Maxima.  I just don't understand how you could think that the TSX is a replacement for the Prelude and the RDX is a replacement for the RSX.  How can you compare a mid sized sedan with a 2 door coupe and then compare a small SUV to a coupe?  I just don't understand your thinking there.  A better comparrison would be how the RSX replaced the Integra.

I have drivien a maxima, and I would put it in the catagory with the accord. The G35 sedan is closer to the avalon. I look at the altima as a civic, and the maxima as the accord.

I don't think Honda is that small.  They sell engines, they make marine boat motors, power generators, jet engines, motorcycles, and the Acura brand.

Don't forget about the lawn mowers!!

[NVA-AV6]

^Yeah, LOL, I have a Honda lawnmower as well.......

[DV8mAn]

This may sound crazy, but Hyundai may be the biggest company of them all when you consider their whole portfolio of business ventures.

[NVA-AV6]

Them and Mitsu are probably the biggest total entities.....

[Mike]

I know it can't be put in the same class but, is the Hyundai genesis sort of an answer to the GTR? RWD with decent power.

[NVA-AV6]

^Not even close mike.

[Mike]

I know its not even close lol! I was just wondeing if that is what they were after.

About the "large sedan", I believe the 8th gen sedan moved to a large car with the generation jump. I think they should move the S2000 under acura build a bad ass v6, similar to what Nissan built, and stick it in there. That would be amazing!

[timot_one]

The 8th Gen Accord is kinda fat and chunky.  I'll give you that.
