    Stop-start sucks, especially when you're taking off from an intersection and the engine stalls right when you're in the middle of the road

    C'mon Honda... tiny-ass incremental improvements don't cut it anymore. CVTs might be good for fuel economy but they're rubbish in the fun-to-drive department. A six-speed Aisin or ZF auto would've been better. Slapping on direct injection and intake-only VTEC still doesn't make the K24 competitive in torque, power and emissions against turbo fours by Renault, VAG and Fiat. Hell, Fiat turbo Multiair engines have multiple positions for intake timing, duration, profile and lift, way more than VTEC's dual cam profiles!

    We need a Honda turbo! 1.8 liters with full VTEC and a turbo for 200 hp, 300Nm torque, awesome...

    Stop start will HOPEFULLY have an override button to disable this option. Same as the Subaru Impreza /XV. Not a big fan of CVT tranny though!! A 8 speed auto box will do nicely.

    CVT, screw that. Nissan's CVT models (Xtrail, new Pulsar, etc) are boring as batshit to drive and it's all down to the awful CVT driving experience. It might save fuel but it does it at the expense of ALL driving pleasure.

    Stop start can die in a fire too. It works in BMW's quite well and smoothly but I can't help but get really annoyed that the engine shuts off and restarts in stop start traffic all the time.
