I think I now know why Honda didn't go full swing into the hole import scene. Honda got very popular fast, kinda too fast some people. When I go to other boards like freshalloy, is300.net, max.org, altima.net, dsmtalk, and some other boards there is A LOT of Honda hatred. But when I got to regular boards like my school has a board, and C&D forums, guess what, even more hatred. It isn't that they hate Honda is it that they "hate on Honda" meaning they always putting the company down, most of the time when it isn't call for.

They laugh at the new Si, call the Accord butt ugly, and they always calling Honda slow. I think Honda kinda knew this was gonna happen and that is why they are trying to downplay the import scene. This sucks because Honda has great products. I think Honda has grown too big, too fast, but that isn't Honda's fault. Kinda like why some people hate on Microsoft and Sprint PCS.

Market domination or just doing better than others causes hatred. This really isn't Honda's fault. Now lets imagine if Honda brought over all the Type-Rs and then gave them more power than what they have now, people would hate honda even more. And this whole thing of calling honda slow isn't fair, yes the Civic is slow, it ain't suppose to be fast. It is an economy car!

When the haters start calling Honda slow, there is always somebody to come back with a comment about how the S2000 is fast, which it is, then somebody says "no torque" or something stupid. But lets face it, yes there is a lack of torque but it still can hang or beat a Mustang GT.

I think Honda is starting to lose the respect that it deserves.

What can be done about this??

Oh and somebody in one of thse forum spoke badly about the RL, needless to say I got him.
