Cars We Drive!

Wow. Were you a psych major, I'm sure there's a pill you can take that could help you out with that.

Numbers nerd and I realize I am being irrational. It's only a handful of cars and colors: 8th Gen Civic (all colors and versions), VW Cabrio, Blaze Orange Metallic RSX (05-06), 5th Gen Civic Hatchback in that ugly teal color

it's all good. That's too bad, not many daily drivers out there that can achieve 8200 RPM. This made the list some of the highest revving production cars in existence...well at least the peak car of its generation made the list. I spy a couple of "peak 911's"

Ok, you guys all had an opportunity to identify peak Honda and failed miserably.

Lemme fix this :

No BMW, thought the V8 on E90 rev pretty high (8k+)

That's a gray area Honda as it's classified in the USA as an Acura. Personally I have never referred to it as a Honda. Think Hummer vs Humvee

Very true. Surprised that's not on the list because it was owned by almost every single journalist at one point.

When you boil down what Honda's goal is. And what this is.
S660 is peak Honda.

The interior is pretty badass I must say.

Having said that, the exterior immediately makes me imagine that this is what you get when a PT Cruiser and a Plymouth Prowler had too much to drink one night, hooked up, and 9 months later this is what greeted the world. Now it rides the short bus to school and is often referred to as, "special".

They’re Hondas. Calling it an Acura is a conceit to the NA market because they felt they needed a “luxury” nameplate to justify the prices they set for the car.

Fine with this too

Thanks you guys. Now I'm shopping for a new ******* car that I don't need.

Explain yourself. It looks like a hacked up CRZ which is probably what it is because that thing sold like crap.

Yeah, NSX is a contender--one of my all-time favorites. But S2000 was also affordable and more simple, so more 'Honda' in my book. Also, it had a sweeter engine and was a later model. Neither Honda nor Acura have mustered a performance car since that is as good or as interesting.
