You're absolutely right, and its handling is top notch. But to market this car as to be conceived as a "relative" mass production car, it must function practically as a daily driver. Period. They aren't building this car as a supercar that is expected to be purchased by racing teams to use as their new platform (which, for example, is the intended buying group for the new Saleen S7), but as a sports car, probably for warm weather use (as Honda has finally developed a non-front-wheel-drive car), but still with daily driving practices supposedly integrated into the design parameters. And frankly, if it takes 11 seconds to hit 60 mph shifting at 5,000 rpms, I think Honda has missed the boat.
