So true. And most of what Honda makes. The Ridgeline is a pile, the Pilot looks & feels cheap...with a $40k price tag. The Civic...don't even get me started. The Fit is miserable at best...I can't get comfortable in that retarded thing. The Accord is bland, though the V6 with a 6M is quite entertaining.

The AE86 Corolla had potentail... With a different motor of course... And Joe, the Honda S2000 is the only decent... Wait, who am I kidding? That thing is a pointless pile of shit!

2JZ. now where's that one pic of the 2JZ swap with NAS.....? Or better yet: The ultimate and predictable from me solution: Just shove an RB26DETT in it and call it done.

No. Toyota powering a Toyota is heresy. Toyota IS a heresy. Ford is garbage. Motorswaps are fun. Plus, an RB is a pretty amazing engine.

Looks like it will be badass. I've seen scott cook's G8 in person and it's pretty wicked. I can't wait to see a superchared G8. I do agree that they messed up taking the firehawk's name. I also wish that they'd reconsider making the firebird. I saw an article awhile ago w/ they showed a firebird concept, but i've heard that they decided to not make it, which IMHO is stupid. There are tons of diehard pontiac people that would love to see it revived again and then SLP can put the firehawk nameplate on that. I did read how GM is considering making a 2-dr. G8 next year, which i think would be awesome!!

Unfortunately CAFE regulations suck for high powered car enthusiasts.
