Honda makes a great car, and Toyota does it even better.
what a load of horsesh*t.

Mazda and Honda are on par for car types: Mazda has the Rx8, MPS 3 and Mx-5 with the remainder being family sedans and other. Honda/Acura have the S2000, RSX and Civic Type_R on the horizon, with remainder being family sedans and other. A quick reminder dude: the S2000 is quicker than the Rx8. So your comments are ridiculous.

They simply offer sports and other cars depending upon your TASTE.

hey noob, calm down, rotarctica didn't post anything that qualifies as "horsestuff" in that post. It was an honest opinion that alot of folks will agree on, BUT please don't start a freakin s2000 is faster hijack.

Fair enough on "not another s2000 debate" tho

I did forget the NSX. Although I have never seen one at the dealer. Notice I didn't include the viper for the same reason. The NSX is/was an awesome car but is not iconic, more of an oddity.

As for the comment on the Elise, when I looked at them they were 40k and the s2000's were selling for 36k at a premium. The used market makes the M3 and elise afforadable to an 8 or s2k owner. The Elise is NOT a daily driver tough but from what I've heard the M3 and Z punish your kidneys just as well. NH

^ S2000's selling at premium??? LOL!

You should be able to get an 07 at invoice with minimal haggling. That's < 32K.

For fun i go with 8. but you get hella props for owing a rsx, because its hella jdm like that you heard! Vtec is hella jdm in the hella jdm world. also make sure you put hella lot of stickers on the rsx, becuase it makes you hella faster then a rsx with out stickers. and also you will get mad props for having lots of stickers. and also make sure you put them on backwards because that is hella jdm you heard!

lol.. lets not talk about NSX's and whatnot.. the guy just wanted your opinions as to which was the better car.. the rsx type S or the 8.. each car has their strong points... if you're more into style and exterior design and looks but ur okay with sacrificing gas milage.. get the 8.. but.. if ur more into performance and small cheap bolt on mods for big power gains.. go for the rsx-S.. each car is equally nice in my opinion.. the only reason why i dindt get an rsx is bc liek i said.. my best friend who lives 3 blocks away has one =\. absoultley stunning car.. and once you hit vtec in that thing your'e goneeeee
