I wonder how long it'll take before this ends up in an hatch?

I think the new RDX looks way waaay to much like the Rav 4.

quite a while before putting it in performance

doubtful that they'd change their primary cheap performance formula (FWD/na/revs)

next super car(s) are already slated for v-10's

K-series will get a nice long run before we get any turbo action from honda

I think you'll see those turbo badges on everything once they are released.

Just like any hybrid once the first RDX is wrecked the fun begins.

N/A power cheap? Hardly. Alot of things Honda are going to forced induction. Mugen just released two supercharger setups the first time the company has ever used forced induction. I think Honda might be getting on the F/I bandwagon just intime emissions are getting stricter here and smaller motors with turbos can pass emissions better than big NA motors.

But, Honda will be releasing it's first V8 soon in some kind of truck, I'm sure that'll hit a few hatchbacks.

like others said, it will be a while untill they use that technology in cars we'd be more interested in. They way this motor works is really interesting I think. Cant wait to see which way they go with it in the future

cheap as in entry level

Integra, Civic, RSX, Prelude, CRX, Del Sol

formula's the same, and it's gonna be the same for a while prolly

[Andrew Bohan]

kinda cool that they drove all over SF/marin to take pics of it. haha

[FRpilot]

anyone know how honda motors react to forced induction? turbo in particular? i heard those b18 ls and gsr react good and are very efficient because their heads flow great.

[NemeGuero]

Oooohh, I like that tach/boost guage!
I want one...

ya over at JDMU, we were talking about how k20a swaps are gonna get old, after this, and ur goona start seeing these instead...

that car looks fugly. acura as a whole has sorta gone downmarket. its not even considered a full luxury brand anymore because of the prices of their offerings...
