Interesting Autoweek article on RDX Chief Engineer

http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dl...&rssfeed=rss01

They spent two weeks riding around the city, usually after midnight to avoid the curious, to define the sound and characteristics of the engine.

They modified a gray Accord wagon to accommodate the new turbocharged, 2.3-liter engine complete with a huge hood scoop, Evert says.
Now that would have been interesting to run across.

Well, we already know that the drivetrain will fit on the TSX chassis...

Damn I wish I were back in LA since my family lives close the the Honda facility in Torrance. I probably would have spotted said Accord wagon since I often drive around for fun after midnight.

Without question, it won't be until the next generation of the car. No point pissing off current generation owners with the introduction of a turbo drivetrain.
