Acura RDX

I am just waiting for Honda to put that motor into say... S2000 replacement? That motor could do 300HP easy, so light RWD sports car with Turbo motor sounds like fun.

 

I'd like to see that motor in the Lotus Elise....

 

Drove it a little bit the other day - felt extremely planted and you can really feel the effect of the SH-AWD holding the line even as you spool the turbo mid-turn. Handling felt on-par with a good car, although I didn't get a chance to throw it through any tight transitions.

That engine feels well-matched to the vehicle - nothing spectacular.
I'm not an automatic fan, but the shifting seemed appropriately firm and quick to react to manual over-ride. The car is quiet - you can barely hear the turbo, and the motor just makes typical honda turbine noises.

The interior is pretty roomy with good seats and a DEEP compartment under the center armrest.

Overall, this would be a very compentant all-weather tall wagon that should never get left behind even on dry pavement.

Agreed about this engine needed to be applied to something well south of 2 tons with a proper sporting tranny.
