I hate to say it but Honda is sucking right now. There's not a single car in the Honda/Acura lineup I'd buy currently. I mean I'd probably pick an Accord/Civic/Fit or even Odyssey/Pilot/Ridgeline over their competitors but those aren't the kind of vehicles I'm into these days. No more S2000, Prelude or RSX and the next NSX is canceled? With the Civic Si as the only "sports car" that's pretty sad.

Well...I'd still def. want it to be high revving. I'm kinda reluctant to say V6 because smaller V6 Asian cars are usually pretty lame: Hyundai Tiburon, Mitsu Eclipse, Mazda MX6, etc.

But I guess those are all FWD.

If it was going to be a smaller, high revving V6, high specific HP, with a lot of character, I'd be in on it. Think like...a Porsche 6 cyl type of engine or a NSX engine. If they put an accord engine in it, it would automatically become lame.

I'd want it to have about the same balance as the S2000 has now. It's still one of the best handling cars in the world. It just needs power. The fact that it was able to beat up on competition with a lot more power shows the handling prowess...but also shows the car's weak point.

I'd still want a 2 seater. I'd want an option for a fixed top coupe. I wouldn't want the car to be any bigger or heavier. Car companies always add so much fat and size to new models that eventually, they become pigs that nobody really wants to drive except for 50 year old dudes who are losing their wives/hair.

It would have to be RWD. If it was AWD or FWD, I wouldn't want it.

So...basically the car that it is now but with a fixed top option and a bunch more power lol.

I do fit into girls pants. I'm so slender and delicate (all facts, BTW). Are girls into that or do they actually want to bang men now?

Well atleast Honda isn't as boring as Toyota. Toyota's been so boring for SOOOOOO long now. They sell SOOOOOO many freaking cars, though. Most people just want solid transportation that doesn't suck. Boring doesn't really matter much to them.
