the engine is the 2.4 liter engine found on the Acura TSX/Honda Accord Euro. I think it produces 230 or so horsies. And please, don't say it's not gonna make production...cause it already is.

The 2.4 in the Accord euro is N/A.

Hmm, quite a change of pace there. Possibly to make it more attractive to the Fast & Furious crowd?

It's a long ways off from being an Evo/STI killer, the specs are closer to the regular WRX. It's a step in that direction tho and once Honda learns to marry VTEC with turbo power......bye bye S. T. I.

SH-AWD is much more advanced than either the Mitsu or Subaru one, and for a Type R version they could easily just tune the engine a bit more for more power

the RDX is technically a crossover that is a Beamer X3 competitor. The production version looks cool...but a bit too edgy

It does make sense as this is the hot new segment, rallycar-inspired rockets. The RDX may just be field testing this new engine/drivetrain...

This isn't Honda's first turbocharged production engine...We've had the 1.7 Commonrail Diesel for some time now...

i dont agree with the "lights finaly turned on" selection.

honda has produced some of the most brilliant N/A engines on the market regarding capacity/power.
