Fastest car I ever owned was a honda, gonna get **** for that one :rolleyes:. Now at least there is a viable option for people now. The si is not really cutting it. My brother worked at a Honda dealership and i drove them often, they are grossly under powered compared to Mazda 3 speeds and equivalent options.

it's ok... my son loves it... but he's 18... which, of course, is the age group the car is targeting

Car needs to be AWD at this point. Not sure why Honda hasn't brought back AWD civic like the old days.

Your telling me with today's technology and knowledge Honda cannot make a fuel efficient awd car? Have you seen the mercedez cla amg with 24/31 mpg and that is with 355hp? I know Honda can do better with slightly less power.

That will probably happen for sure.

Wow....so I guess my guess of 2% probability this would happen is coming true.
Will still wait until it actually arrives to believe it. Also, Honda could bring back the AWD and maintain fuel economy with the Type-R. The GT-R is not AWD all the time so Honda could easily do a FWD 80% and when in specific scenarios it moves to AWD to help balance the car.

Yeah, it all comes down to when the car goes into full AWD mode, and I imagine for a lower (cheaper) end car it will not be as refined or well tuned as upper end cars. Plus most setups I see that are AWD are mostly RWD and activate AWD for performance and not FWD/AWD.
