I wouldnt buy it. Honda makes good cars, and decent looking ones at that. It looks much too radical and off-base for it to come from honda. It also doesnt make all that much HP from the normal one with the V6. No point in turboing the 4cl when you have a larger V6 already pushing 240. Honda isnt stupid. That looks stupid.

lol, those wheels look like they'll snap like twigs if someone taps them with their foot... not to mention the look like they got they design for the wheels from a tyco rc car!
But enough about the bad wheels, if this news proves to be true, then it could be a competitor to the Evo and the WRX. But the Evo and WRX would destroy the Honda, for the time being at least due to a weaker engine. But if done properly, this could turn out to be a good car, if the rumor is true of course.

Im sure Honda knows how to built an All Wheel Drive System, i mean do subaru know how to make an All Wheel Drive system when they made their first AWD car. Of course im sure Honda one of the best Japanese Manufactor out there (IMO) knows how to make an AWD system, every manufactor has to start out somewhere right?
Just for the info. Subaru are known for the only manufactor that is only AWD cars in their line. Yeah i know Subaru has built FR before back then but up to date Subaru is the only manufactor that all the cars model are AWD.I might not make sense
Oh yeah, Honda never made Planes or Jets before but now they have... i made a topic about that in the past.

You're kidding? The 1985-1991 Civic Wagons could be equipped with 4wd, the 1st gen JDM Integra was also available with 4wd, the JDM/European Accord Wagon also was equipped with 4wd during the mid 90s, and, of course, the CR-V/Pilot/MDX. Of course it's not like on a Jeep, but all 4 wheels will spin at once.
And turbos? Please, where have you guys been? You've never heard of the City Turbo? Remember the Turbo Era in Formula 1, back in the 1980s? Honda dominated it. And, of course CART manufacturer's champion from 1996 to 2001 (yes, that's 6 years straight).
So yes, they have turbo experience.
The hood scoop on the car in that article comes from a Mustang... Draw your own conclusions.

I agree with you PK. And to add to the argument, why would Honda return to so many historic ventures all in one automobile?
Classic Internet rumors.
True, but the car supposedly getting turbocharged is actually the "rest-of-world" Accord, meaning the US-market Acura TSX, which is sold without a V6. Frankly, 50bhp more and AWD would be a huge help for it for real competition against Jaguar, Audi, BMW, etc.
Maybe. I find "Real-Time 4wd" to be the biggest sucker scam in history - at least it's only $400 extra on the CR-V.

I agree with PR, it's all bull.
