I mean several of them did receive widespread praise, especially those in the lower price brackets (MX5 of all gens, 86/BRZ), those that are specifically meant for a very exclusive group of the market (LFA), or something only Japan can build (GTR)
I am not offended by the new Teg, it was expected it'd just be a re-dressed Civic and piggyback on a legendary nameplate. Underwhelming sure, surprised? not at all.
