That’s because it is based on an old Civic, not the other way around like it’s done these days.
Later, they decided to develop a bespoke platform for the City lineup, and probably hired a vegetarian financial adviser for the job. You can see it all went down the line ever since.
In the olden days if you asked Honda to give you a nippy, nimble car- they’d offer you the NSX, a Prelude, an Integra,the S2000, or one of the Type-Rs. Now however I imagine the response would be like: we currently don’t make one of those, but if you fancy a ‘Thought Sensing Hat’… Oh sod it! I’d rather buy an EVO anyway, only if that were available any more.
See the problem? It’s the vegetarianism that’s killing ‘em all, like MTV did to the music and we ended up with creatures like Lady Gaga. Like it or not, your CRZ is the Lady Gaga. Some of you may not see a problem with that, but then again some of you were born with SWAG. So that’s something.
So, let’s talk about that; CRZ not the Lady. Even with all its fab and flash, and funky looks (still talking about the car) it is slower than the original, quarter of a century, old CRX.
And talking about quarter of a century, their iconic Accord lineup has lost its 4 wheel double wishbone after about a quarter of a century. Fancy that!
Such fast, much grip, many sales... WOW!
And that’s not all folks… list goes on and on… I can write a whole blog and everything, but why bother? It is not a nostalgia thread, so I should rather leave.
