Totally agree, even though I was half joking about the engine part. Honda / Acura always hold back when it comes to their drivetrain in order to be reliable and achieve the best fuel economy. I still question all of that since I get 32-34 MPG in my X3 M40i and I was able to get 36 MPG in the 2020 Supra I rented for 5 days.
