Honda has major problems with auto sales, especially in NA. They also have a growing rival in Hyundai, especially in NA. They are a bit of a late starter in China as well, where GM and VW are the top foreign brands. With the new emphasis on green, they saw the writing on the wall and put many of their racing engineers to work on zero carbon stuff. leave it to Honda to come up with something good, but in the meantime, no racing teams. Excellent engine though! Nice to see a bike manufacturer build the winning engine as well... |
