"The complaints get louder and more pathetic."

First of all, people complain because that's what people do. You won't change that by whinging about it.

Second, people wanted Honda, and many of them went out and got the one that is both more "historic" and more viable economically. This one isn't. Ain't no shame in pointing that out.

Third, you're missing the fact that practically any player, barring, perhaps, very recent arrivals, has an FU (or close to FU) Silvia. That's bound to get you 25 of the 43 GC that this car's only series pays out. So, you either spend 0 GC and get back 25, or be lighter by 175 GC (net) for a car that's no better than Silvia.

The last bit is perhaps the most significant. With the two Hondas, FM/EA seem to be teasing out a way to more easily tap into players' GC accounts. Way back, you could reach lvl 3 without spending GC; then, you couldn't move past lvl 2; for over a year now, it's been R$ at lvl 1, GC at lvl 2. S2000 is the first car to be exclusively GC-based, but what's to stop FM/EA from making all future additions that way? It's like many of the oldtimers here are saying: this might just be a very painful and unpleasant precedent. And one of the ways in which players may at least force FM/EA to rethink that course of action is by (loudly and obviously) not going for the car.

But, of course, you do you, the same that other people do themselves and complain about what they see as a wrong turn.

PS. DH, "it's not like you need 8492 GC to FU the car or something, nor is it like the level 1 upgrades cost 45 GC on average" is not a very good argument. For comparison, the Carrera Speedster, one of the few cars in the game that have lvl 1 GC upgrades, has about twice the PR. The lvl 1 GC upgrade costs 1 GC. The Carrera RS 3.8 has 1 lvl 1 GC upgrade - it costs 2 GC. The cheapest upgrade on this Honda is for 3 GC, but all 1s will cost you 29 GC. I'm glad you can afford that, but that don't make it a sensible buy.
