I think i see what've been saying, but the problem is you're kinda
comparing two (three?) cars that have been designed with different
purposes.  I see the Acura gsr, prelude, etc as sporty ECONOMICAL cars,
but the camaros. stangs, etc, or more of mid level sports cars.  Now
you're buying economy, which reliability usually folows, and the other
you're buying mostly power and possibly an image.
