How much I Hate HONDA???
When my car was coming from Japan (probably)
some stupid f*** stole my OEM illuminated shift ****.
So the dealer thought it was wise to put another 6-speed **** on
before delivering to me.
Guess what?
It was surprise to find out that it was the **** from a Honda S-2000/RSX.
It 6speed , quite delicated, it matches my interior perfectly BUT...
I H A T E H O N D A.....
So I ordered the illuminated OEM **** as it should be.
Check out the pic...
what do ya think?

i don't get why everyone loves to hate hondas, they make decent cars that are relatively fun to drive.
the rx8 isnt much farther than a honda in the eyes of some euro drivers
i personally prefer to laugh at cavalier and neon owners
btw, the s2000 **** is one of the nicest factory ***** I've seen

I think people hate Honda not because of the cars that they make, but because there is a massive subculture running rampant in the world that is dedicated to making Hondas look as rediculous as humanly possible.

i think honda makes solid economy cars for the masses w/ decent features, reliable, and overall a good value for ppl looking for the run-of-the mill commuter vehicle.
however, their designs tend to be bland. and when they do try to do something more high-tech or sporty, they go off the deep end and over do it. all-in-all, they just never can leave good enough alone with their designs and every 4-5 years radically change everything- be it body styles, interior styles etc. but, most of the time, nothing is really improved and it's all cosmetic.
for example, i think that the civic is a really fun, economy car. but, if u look at the design of the late 80's civics, they look ridiculously dated compared to other comparable cars of that era. honda always misses the mark by either going too weird or too conservative. they are all over the place- like a kid who can't decide if he wants a cookie or a candy bar.
and, that's not all. honda also has some of the snobbiest dealerships/ salespeople i have ever met. arguably, -maybe- only marginally better than bmw car sales. maybe worse even. they are so arrogant and so condescending that they totally ruin and take all the fun out of car shopping/ browsing on the weekend. ie, they actually make u feel like not going there.
just my .02 and exp w/ honda...

honestly the oem s2000 **** is much nicer than the rx-8 oem **** (in fact I ditched mine immediately for the voodoo ****), but still that is pretty lame of the dealer

I zoom therefore I am.
Because dealers always have a box of scratched/busted/worn shift *****. People's watches, rings, etc can quickly scratch up the **** and they have to be replaced when they're sold.
You should have seen the POS **** the dealer put on my 8 when they couldnt find when I bought it. It was a stock 8 **** but it looked like someone had put it in a clothes drier with a sack of nuts and bolts.

I think it actually looks good.
At least it has the 6-spd pattern and you didn't get a base model Civic 5-spd ****.
Honda isn't a bad car company. Take apart a K20A2 motor sometime- the thing is overbuilt to the max and features some really cool parts, like a fully counterweighted and balanced forged crankshaft. Stuff you only see in American car performance books.

My last car was a s2000 and like you I hated Hondas till I bought my S and all I have to say is that the s2k was a fun car very fast in the coners and out of the box is faster than the RX8. But I had to let her go I needed more room and I always wanted an RX8 so a few months ago I bought myself a 2007 stormy blue RX8 and i like it as much as my S. I Just got an egency power exhaust and clear coners today should be fun

I think that S2000 is one of the finests
The thing is that Cyprus is full of Hondas.
I got sick of them.
You ask: "what r u driving?"
The answer is 80% : "Honda"
The other think is that I prefer OEMs.
And I said so. It matches my interior. But in nighttime I cannot stand this NON illumination.
I will definitelly go for the OEM illuminated for 200 bucks.
