Sure he seems to be taking a few ideas from Akio’s playbook, with the hands on approach and giving car guys more decision power and promising to make fun cars again. But he isn’t as charismatic as Akio is, and the fact that his name isn’t Honda, make his words within the company weigh a little less. He is also a more conventional executive, ideas like making English the official language at Honda in the near future, can barely move the needle when it comes to changing how the company makes its cars, for the better. Lastly, there’s the size factor. Honda sells a lot less cars than Toyota, it uses a smaller scale when doing things. It would never justify something like an LMP1 team, it can’t win in most racing it engages in. And Acura, Acura has been sent in the bushes by Lexus on many levels, I’m not even gonna list them.

I think Honda needs to have its own little fun projects every now and then. Even if the FR-S wasn’t the commercial success that it should have been, Honda needs it’s own cheap, small, RWD fun car. Another great idea: even if they cannot compete with Toyota at the top-tier, why not just create their own tier? I think Honda could create an interesting car for that 56th slot at Le Mans; even if Nissan has done it already, surely Honda can create their own unique racer like the Deltawing.
Even if a company can’t compete with the size of Toyota, some creative approaches to the car can still get you noticed and move some metal for the shareholders. Honda has been very conservative, but if the recent Civic hatch and the Type-R are indicative of their direction, I think they could just bring a little bit more fun back into their lineup.
