For the most part Honda has been engineering its cars for economy rather than performance, its not gonna be so easy for Honda to become a leader in performance cars overnight if ever.
Just so you know, Honda has been making Cart engines for awhile, and pretty good ones at that. I don't know if this technology is making its way into the production lines like Audi has filtered down some of the R8 tech to its cars. I just can't see blowing that kind of money on a FWD car.

German cars in general are more torque oriented. I myself am a bigger fan of high nM than high HP, that's just me.

I think that shows that it's not only a "drivers" car...but also a tame non-motorists car
I think a better sign of the Honda Type S being a tame car is the fact that the first year the Type S came out it wasn't manual. Very interesting.
