WEIRD, I own a an NSX and my wife owns a 99 M Coupe. BOTH are great cars. The Honda is more reliable though.

>>> Power? M Roadster wins, Porsche next best and Honda last.

Sure M roadster wins, but S2000 outruns a Boxster, or you are referring the Boxster S?

>>> Quality? Sorry, the Honda is all Honda, not BMW, not a Porsche...

So what are you saying?? Honda don't build good quality cars?? You must be kidding, right?
There is no way I will believe BMW is more reliable and less problematic than Honda, Porsche on the other hand I can't comment since I never owned one.
I have a '93 Honda NSX, daily driver, 81k miles, not a single problem, all I did was regualr oil change and scheduled maintainese, running like a dream right now.
Bought a '00 M roadster in March, it has been in shop 3 times for a totol of two weeks, pulley failed, sway bar poped off, top making squeaking noise, most seriously, oil pump failed out of no where, had to flat bed the car to dealer, still don't run the same today.
So, please, maybe you are talking about cheap quality of material and paint or things on Honda, that I agree, but then what the heck did you expect? It was never meant to be a luxury car, so it uses cheaper stuff than BMW, in the same theory, the leather or interior material on BMW is like crap compared to a Bentley.
If you are talking about mechanism quality, there is no way Honda is any worse then BMW. I mean geez, lurking around the forums here, a good percentage of topics are regardling problem, failure and lemon law suits.

>>> BTW, don't get into a pissing match with Honda devotees. They out-number us Bimmer people by a HUGE margin!

As far as I know, Honda sold way less S2000 than M roadster and coupe, so we outnumber them. Unless you are downgrading yourself to compare to Accrod drivers.
