Hence, you see the low displacement vehicles are now equipped with turbochargers. Of course, they can continue making low displacement, high output engines for countries without emission standards, but that market is shrinking fast.

I think it's over for Honda.
Hyundai can have two 'compact' coupes with a 1.6Di and a 2.0Di Turbo engine that runs on regular gas and yields very good MPGs, and Honda is given us this recycled shit? It's almost as bad as the new Corolla XRS with the Camry engine! (They went from the high-reving Celica GTS engine to the base Camry engine)..

I really really hope Honda/Acura does some amazing s*it in the next two years. From the company that brought us the DC2R, DC5, 1G TSX, and 3G TL-S, I am very very sad to say that I will never buy a new Honda vehicle

I used to have an 08' coupe, I always thought that was the best looking model year. It was my first new car. Very good, addicting 2 liter vtec roar, 6spd + lsd, tight chassis, good brakes, good balance, well under $30g, I'll always have a soft spot for them

PLus, Toyota's 2.4L was making 161hp, 40hp less than the expected 2.4L in the new Civic Si.

At least honda is realizing that low power Green cars don't sell! The day the NSX comes back, it better still come in manual!

although, with Hondata I'm sure you can bump up the rev limiter easily. I wonder if the stock K24 head/valvetrain can handle 8000rpm. otherwise, slap on a good ol' k20 head and rip that sonbitch to 8000+  | |

Most manufacturers seem to be getting into turbos in a big way, bmw, mercedes, vw group, ford. I dunno why honda cant seem to get with it. hopefully the new F1 rules will get them more interested in turbos.

None of them do have six-speed manual though.

comfortable
ergonomic (dash mounted shifter, improved rear seats)
good looking
cheap insurance
regular gas
honda reliable
semi rare
its just the engine/chassis/suspension felt way too lazy and tuned for comfort > character, but like you said, to each his own.
