Hold the bus HGR...If 97% of Non-Verbal-Behavior is missing in a Phone Call, then not a lot is left in text form. I own a K20 that revs to the moon... What I'm trying to say is Honda is behind, and Honda needs to pull their head out of their ass, while they can still take that respect to the bank. Honda has killed the car line, as well as almost every car worthy of the name. They were fools not to crank up the boost, and stuff that SH-AWD K23 Turbo Drivetrain from the RDX into the TSX... Fools! I'm sure BMW has learned more from Honda, then they might ever admit, but maybe Honda might now try do the same, by give the people what they are now buying elsewhere.

Red, thanks for the info on the triple-turbo four. Your description matched what I suspected, that it would be two single stages and a combined stage. I think if I were motivated enough I could tell what cylinders are paired based on firing order but I'm being lazy today. ; -)
Speaking of high revving, I read something recently that talked about problems with gasoline direct injection and building RPMs (which the non-DI S54 or Honda's S2K motors do - heck even a well built small block Chevy can pull 9K RPMs ; -). Let me see if I can find that - it may be buried in the Bosch Automotive Handbook somewhere. |

Now, are we thinking 2012 will bring updated hatch only, and maybe '13 or '14 we'll see updated coupe? Or all at same time? Seems the hatch and coupe are staggered by a couple years development-wise, up through now at least.

Lights are likely just a camo trick...doubt they will look like that in production.
