    Under the bonnet. There is room for something a lot bigger than an NA inline 4. There is also room for a rear diff. I just don't know if the tranny tunnel is big enough for a drive shaft though. I'll post pics tomorrow.

    They (as in the web as a whole) say that the diesel is wider and so that's why the car is wider. The diesel probably needs more room fore and aft as well as width. Are you shawd about the space for a rear diff?

    Yep, I took a photo of it this morning. It looks strange having a big hole there for a diff and axles.

    There is definately tons of room for turbo. I suppose they need room for an intercooler too. The head design makes me wonder if they are using RDX head? Cast in extractors just seems strange.

    The diesel has a turbocharger. The extra room at the back for a diff could be for a SHAWD version.

    Yep 2.2L TD.

    I'd like SH-AWD with RDX engine though. The Yanks would go beserk over that!
