The FD2 would certainly be a competitor to the WRX and Ralliart-but I don't think it could match it with the EVO X or STI in terms of performance and everyday driving.
I think and I hate to say it,the next generation of Type Rs may need to be turbo or supercharged.
It's just becoming increasingly difficult for Honda to compete with these force fed cars.

V10 + Turbo + ATTS would frighten the living daylights out of my GT-R.
It'd be competitive with the R35 & GT2 I'm sure. I do trust Honda R & D.
Ourselves? We can only speculate

You need to pad up the mushy thing at the controls, buff them up with a few things to make them almost immortal

LanEvos and latest STis do this very well =P

Honda Asiapac's president says that the Honda brand is strong here and hence there won't be any Acura in Australia. So we won't get the NSX. I think he needs to put the weed down and realise that in Australia, Honda goes against Mazda, Subaru and Toyota. Not BMW and Audi like he is dreaming about.

would it be safe to suggest the new accord cylinder deactivation tech for city/street driving. v10 to at least a v4 for low fuel consumption.

Possibly V6, i dont know if 4 cyclinders will be enough.
The accord wipes out half its cylinders, i dont see the NSX deactivating much more than half IFF it does have the technology in the first place.
Its not being built as a daily driver as such so i do doubt it.

Enough for what? The accord only goes to 3cylinder mode when there's little to no strain on the engine, and the accord would weigh more then the new NSX.
