Detriot can make faster cars but how many corvettes, mustangs, camaros, firebirds, GTOs, chargers do you see with 300,000 miles on it with its original engine and first tranny
and there are plenty of cars that are priced at or below what you can get a honda for, some having many more features
A) Cars that come with drum brakes don't count as sportscars in my book. There goes half of your examples.
B) The S2000 is a hair dryer compared to many other cars in its price point.
C) If reliability is a condition of building a sportscar, performance is being sacrificed for it. Race cars break. Always will.
Edit: D) My CX went only 104k on its original motor. My mom had a Ford Pinto wagon that did better than that. A lot of what makes a car reliable is the way it's maintained. It isn't all about design. Hondas are way easier to maintain than anything domestic.
