I was hoping for a more advanced VTEC system to feature on the last 2L NA before the switch to FI but Euro emissions pushing for everyone to go to extremes to reduce emissions.

Concept revealed. Great engine, but still FWD. It probably needed the 20" wheels for grip! The old prototype ran on 19" only.

Looks strangely like the new wrx

hopefully the tailights stay that way into production.
extended all the way to the spoiler.

FOOKN SEXY!

Will buy if production looks exactly like this... or better.

Looks really good. Honda finally woke up.

Supposedly from the test drive of the prototype, there is no turbo lag. This will be interesting, I want to find out if this is true, as it will be a big advantage over the Euro hot hatches (R, S3, RS265).

If Honda has somehow used VTEC to eliminate turbo lag, then my faith in Honda's technological strength will be renewed!

Might consider for a new daily me thinks!

I heard this new Earth Dreams technology is quite good in terms of producing torque and in fuel efficiency

Couldn't resist ;)
