honda has 2 boosted vehicals in japan actualy. they make nice motors, dont get me wrong, but hoestly for performance, i'd take boost over an increased displacment and weight. the mitsu 4g63 engine(eclipse turbo) has about the same life expectancy and repair cost as a honda h22 engine. honda makes real good commuter engines and economical, but theres a big step to take if they wana get into hard core perforamce or luxory.(awd/rwd and/or turbo and not overcharge for it) even the "awsome" s2k is a nice car, and they managed to get rwd in there too, but the.. 120hp per lt argument dosnt hold much water with a 1/4 mile of about 14 flat from a 35k PERFORAMCE car. they build all around cars, but the problem is, when you want strait line performance, fwd will no cut it, if you want awsome handling fwd will not cut it, 240hp and much less tq isnt very impressive when a nissan toyota or mitsu motor can do that turbocharged, keep the tq curve up, and a nice tq#. if honda can turn some of this around, im all for it, but i dont see it in their future as a company.

my car may not be the fastest thing on the road, but it handles better than most, it may not be the best handling car on the road either, but it is kinda all around, problem is kindea all around dosnt win races, it creates a all around mediocor(sp?) car.
