Given the burst of negative messages you posted yesterday, maybe you would
be happier ignoring Hondas altogether. Since you apparently have had
personal grief with Hondas I won't suggest you are a troll, but these posts
are not very helpful.

On your topic, many of us don't want maximum power. The last car I bought
was a Toyota Prius, with only 100 horses. That's plenty for the way my wife
and I drive. We wouldn't even have looked at the Civic if it had 200 hp -
and that's just the market niche Honda seems to have chosen for it.
