200hp doesn't sound all that exciting either.
In a world full of monster SUVs, trucks and oval shaped appliances, we are fortunate that car manufacturers offer sports cars, so I really applaud Honda for that.

We'll so how it sales.
I think 200 HP would be fine if they made it small, lightweight, and affordable. Like a Honda Miata. But this really doesn’t sound like that.
