i usually try to stay out of them since obviously on an acura board there is some bias, but calling the BMW I6's not smooth is as atrocious as saying the Enzo is not that exclusive.

Tsx

I just bought a 6 speed manual TSX. I enjoy the way it drive. I feel this car had plenty of zip and handles nicely under most driving conditions. Excessive horsepower and front wheel drive would be a deadly combination. Working in a Level 1 trauma center I have much to often what excessive horsepower and poor driving skills or/and too few brain cell can do

Larger 4cyl or move to a six?
Is a larger 4cyl possible? I know the Honda four has increased steadily 2.2, 2.3 and now 2.4 is there room for more to get some more torque?
Easy answer. Use the RDX drivetrain. 240 hp, 260 lb-ft, iAWD. Insignificant increase in engine size and weight. Furthermore, it's a modder's wetdream with a turbo & AWD.

Holy resurection - a thread with sick and gilbo in it.

Honda already figured out that FWD+High HP = trouble. Their answer of course is AWD.

This article isn't about winter driving so his points are very valid.
Maybe not a moron but he's also not reporting all the facts.
