| In my humble opinion if Honda really wants to go racing, it should try WRC. Watching these races is a real high. It's almost insane what these drivers do at top speed. It certainly hasn't hurt sales of the Subie STi and Mitsu Evo. | |

Replying to: angelus1 (Aug 19, 2007 11:00 am) Trickle down technology applies even to todays modern consumer oriented cars, but it's coming from F1, not NASCAR. Dollar for dollar, Honda's are still better equipped and longer lasting than their American nameplate counterparts. That's why we're talking about Honda's here, and I don't see any comparison to a Fusion, Charger, or Impala/Monte Carlo. Last but not least, let's not forget that a Japanese company has the only American manufactured car running in NASCAR. Everything else is imported. Today, being a perfect example, the fair weather 'skilled' NASCAR drivers can't run in the rain. But F1 Honda's will still be running in a typhoon.

Replying to: canddmeyer (Aug 19, 2007 6:19 pm)  I don't watch it for the cars, I watch it for the racing. Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya do get it, that's why they are both in NASCAR now (with many more F1 and Indy car drivers to follow). Now, bring on the specs for the new Accord!

While I can't bring myself to watch any kind of car racing (way too boring) I will say that they all require skill. Not much longer - how about some early leaks. I am really curious about the weight and interior space. If the Accord is 106 cubic ft and the Civic is 91, then that is a huge gap. They really need to bump the civic up to about 97 and have the Fit take the Civics place. Or they could introduce something in between.
