This poll
DIRELY NEEDS to be model year specific and broken down by class to be truly meaningful IMO.
Allow me to impose some order on this entropic mess.

IN MY OPINION:
For the best Civic design: I give 1st place to the EG...with a three-way tie between the EP, EK, and EF for second.

For Integra: DC & DB jointly take first (so I'm biased, :fawk
ff..), with the DA in second place, the DC5 (RSX) trails them both.
For Accord Coupe: CD/ CG in 1st with better balance overall than the admittedly gorgeous ass-end on the current Coupe.
For Accord Sedan: Again a tie between fourth and fifth gen. I can't decide.
The S2000, the 2nd gen Acura Legend, the Vigor and the new TL all take home Special Awards, they all have their strengths and individual senses of style and balance. (I'm particularly partial to the 2nd gen Legend coupe.)
The NSX is simply without comparison internal to the Honda & Acura brand. It has survived one of the most difficult supercar markets in the last 25 years IMHO. And not only has it survived, it's evolved and grown stronger, faster and yet more focused as a precision driving instrument. I'm partial the older headlights and taillights, but it's not enough to draw a clear divide for me.
While the NSX may walk away with the Best In Show title, I think the more important thing to recognize is that in all market niches, Honda has consistently shown itself to be one hell of a brand, making excellent-handling chassis, solid designs and truly paradigm-shifting motors.
Thank you and good night.
