I totally agree.

Imagine that....Hondas with low-end torque.

Can't wait to see what they put that in.

Now that the engines are catching up to the rest of the car world.....how about some eye-catching, positive external car designs?

Let's not beat up Honda too much over the RDX. It seems like they found the right engine to use in the 2G RDX......too bad they scrapped the SH-AWD system.

Anyway, let's also give them a chance to develop turbo cars which hopefully maintain the characteristics found in their N/A cars. It is nice seeing them looking to throw their hat in the Evo/sti ring.

Agreed, Honda's finally moving in the right direction (theoretically) in terms of power and performance. Now if they could get the whole styling thing down they'd be thriving again

I suppose seeing the Germans, the Americans, and even the Koreans get ahead of them finally upset them a little and prompted them to take proper action. Gotta' say I'm excited for that which is to come.

Hope there's a good amount of aftermarket support for these new turbo engines. I would love to see companies like Cobb involved.

Oh man, this is the part that you don't have to worry about. There will be tons of parts for this engine if this becomes the heart of Si.

Won't be surprised if it's a move made by Honda USA.
