It not really aimed at the enthusiasts more for the mass markets, i.e. company car drivers especially the GT model which Honda expects 80% of the sales! |

It's a shame but it's true - Honda are pushing sales towards company car market - probably trying to get some sales in against the likes of the Golf Hopefully they will come to their senses and release a dirty model - Only time will tell |

if there changing suspension from independant to torsion thats going to make the handling suffer. id be surprised if they put something like lsd on it. looks like it will be too heavy to need it anyway. have to say honda isnt what it used to be, unfortunately they are producing some real crap cars now. |

i'm of the opinion that apart from a few manufacturers (subaru and mitsi mainly) there aren't many models that are being developed in the direction i'd like them too. i think generally base line performance peaked in the mid 90s in terms of power/handling/weight compromise. |
