Yea I do think they wanna break that FWD record.
Also, Honda seems to like to do things a little differently than others with its sporty offerings. When the Nissan Silvia was a turbocharged RWD coupe, Honda made a FWD machine with a high revving engine. For convertibles, when others were making 6 cylinder models, Honda came out with the S2000 with a high revving 2.0L engine. For the new NSX, it's the first one in its segment to have a hybrid powertrain.
