I thought that a thread showing HAN members opinions of what Honda should do to better itself should be.

One thing that would be nice is real rear biased AWD in more of their cars.

 

Get a Subaru.

 

Honda has its strengths and weaknesses. Its strengths are to appeal to the masses, get good gas mileage, and have FWD.

 

Throughout all the changes good/bad, Honda is still sellin dem cars....so they should be happy and not change their thinkin

 

Honda's designated performance cars that DO have a bias toward RWD...

We call them the NSX and the S2000.

 

:werd:

 

i would love to see a rwd RSX with a turbo. but i can dream. :dream:

 

Honda should listen to what people want when they create the Civic Si, and what cars we want over here such as the ATR, and CTR:fawk:

 

As it is said Above. Honda (as with every car company) has its good points and its bad. But I would have to say that since they are ALWAYS among the top 5 for the major "car & Driver" type people, then they must be doing something right.

Another thing is that Honda's hold their value. When you drive a Ford off the lot. it drops in value almost half. When you drive a Honda off the lot. you can turn around and seel it for damn close to what you paid for it.

Put that little "H" on anything and it will seel (as long as the quality behind the "H" goes into the product.)


Ok, guess that was confusing enought.


In short. Honda's may have up's and down's but their Up's ALWAYS over ride the Down's.


You also have to understand that a company like Honda can not make ALL their cars to be "race cars" They have to keep it economical. The average person would rather pay a cheap price for a slow reliable car, then to pay expensive for a fast reliable car. All they want is to get to and from work, school, the store, ect. THey dont care if they get tehre in 5 mins or 20mins.

I think that Honda has done a great job with keeping their cars (and other products) within a economical price range and keeping the quality they started out with.

 

every new honda locally brings full MSRP... all of the new models like the element, pilot, AV6 bring MSRP dem some.... honda's doin good and another cool thing... only 9%, thats right 9% of new honda's sold come back for warranty work during the warranty period.... thats the best figure of all manufacturers
