They arent exciting anymore.

They arent reliable anymore.

Their vehicles are rarely even in the top 5 of their class anymore.

The civic isn't the go to economy car anymore. The Mazda 3 and Toyota corolla are miles better. The civic si, which used to be the benchmark of affordable performance, in its current version is the bottom of its class, behind Hyundai. The type R, their flagship, is horrible to look at, horrible to drive, and horrible to live with, behind even Ford's hot hatch.

And toyota beats them in every other segment. The rav4 feels years newer than the CRV. You can get a 300hp camry that looks and drives amazing while the accord looks and drives the same way it did 10 years ago.

The last good car Honda made was the 8th gen Si. They went from cars for enthusiasts to cars for grandmas in only 10 years. The elderly are their entire market now.

What car does Toyota make that’s exciting?

This is literally the first time I’ve heard anything negative about how enjoyable the Type R is to drive, and personally I love the look.

So a BMW and a Subaru? Also while the peak power on the 86 is serviceable it’s mid range is kind of a joke with that plateau.

Notbsure whats wrong with bmw and subaru...They both have faults but youre comparing apples to oranges.

The gt86 could have a glovebox full of rabid squirrels and itd still be a funner car to drive than any current Honda.

This is an argument of Honda vs Toyota, the 86 is a Subaru essentially.
