It would be hypocrasy if I said Honda < Mazda. I think as a company Honda is better, but I'd rather drive one of the two good Mazdas over any Honda, just cause I don't like Hondas. But my justification is personal, don't take this as me saying they're bad cars, the biggest problem of all of the ones I mentioned is the common-ness. It's purely personal opinion, cause that may not bother others as much or at all. I don't go around dissing Hondas, but this thread wanted to know my reasoning and I gave it. Again, why should anyone care that I don't like their car? I said why I don't, someone threw out the Type R cars that are few and far between, and I mentioned I wasn't targeting those, it's the kids on the site with a stock D16(or whatever one of the bad engines is, I don't know Honda engine codes) and slammed suspension that piss me off.Originally Posted by Mr.Ek9
And no, but the Type R series was set into motion by the Rx-7, and the Del Sol was created to compete with the Miata. The S2000 is more hardcore than the Miata, so it was good and wasn't inspired by Mazda, and the type R series and Del Sol could have very well been underway regardless, but the cars that have been linked to possibly inspire them did happen to be made by Mazda.Originally Posted by bigdare23
