Yes, that part may still be true. But my observation is based more on their ability (or lack thereof) to plan and execute. And at least here in the States, even their marketing has become much less focused and edgy. I've been out of automotive for going on three years now and I've lost touch with a great many of the people who used to feed me "what's what" industry news (people have this odd tendency of retiring and/or dying, it seems). But this trend that I *think* I see in Honda really did start some time ago. From passenger cars (although the quality is still quite good) to racing, this "new" Honda seems to have lost a step.

Anyway, I do hope they get it turned around. I'm not so much a Honda fan, but I would like to see all of the manufacturers being competitive.
