J-series actually feel like they have decent torque... My dad has an 03 V6 LX auto...i made a thread about it.

i definitely disagree with this statement...the b series and k series do not have a disadvantage in torque over any other petrol normally aspirated engine of equal displacement

thats the mistake, they didnt make bigger displacement B-series than the B20 nor did they have any s/c or turbo setups. thats why i left out the honda v6's and the F(including S2000) and H series.

The K24 in the TSX is nice too, but do a search on how everyone thinks about that engine's performance in that car, and the common answer is "gutless".

We can go into swaps and such, but I'm talking about factory bone-stock performance.

I'd say Honda has lost a good bit of spiritual image since the 90's. Ask people about Honda cars, and they will tell you it's a well designed, reliable car that will get you from A to B, and that's it. Honda needs to give its cars a spirit; right now, Honda is caught between trying to be an environmentally friendly and tech oriented, yet racing bred at the same time, and have succeeded at neither. Honda needs to choose one, and build on it. Back in the Formula 1 days, Honda was a big name in racing, and built their cars around that spirit. Now, their cars are just bland with no soul at all.
