What Gordon Murray really wanted to put in the McLaren F1 was Honda's 4.5L V10 or V12...but Honda declined 3 times to produce the engine for McLaren F1.
I heard that Honda declined to build engine for Lotus Exige or Esprit.
I really don't understand why, wouldn't it be honorable for Honda to build engine for McLaren and Lotus? I mean they're both high class car manufactures. Can't believe Honda ditched them.

but this was hondas first big mistake, in a long line of many after it!
i still have hope that they can produce something that will reinforce my love for them!
