Some people will not like this, but...

All real sports cars (IMO) are RWD or AWD. The only Hondas that are RWD are the S200 and NSX. Also, Honda has never offered a manual with a 6-cyl engine until the new accord. It will be out in the next couple of months. What does that say? That says that the cars are for commuting, not for sport. The 4-cyl engines have a manual for better gas mileage. Honda does have the technology; look at the S2000 or NSX. They are getting better at making sports cars, and just BMW, they are gradually bringing the sports cars over from Japan. If the car had RWD, it would probably beat the 330, but its not. All of the tests are on the track, and basically do not mean squat on the streets. You can make an Integra out handle an M3, but it will ride like dookie, and that’s where the real joy of owning a BMW comes to the surface. BMW makes truly civilized sports cars, where as Honda makes civilized, BMW inspired (Sport) Econo-Boxes.

Again, this is my opinion.
