Interesting points. I could see that to some degree. The thing I've always loved about driving a Honda is the pure get up and go of the engine. My first Accord could flat out fly. Then I got a Civic and it was ok. Then another Accord and it was awesome. I have a Civic now and it can get up there quick, but it doesn't drive as well as the Accords did, even though it is supposed to be a "sports car".
Now that you mention it, my first Accord really was more fun to drive. My friends talked about how smooth and fast it was.
Not that I ever drove over the speed limit...
