Concept Honda "city"

too much euro "bubble action" going on in cars today....

and honda is all about saving the environment, so turbo development is last on the list in their things to do i suspect.

honda does make the fastest motor for a jetski though, it is basiclly the same motor in a type r integra except it is turboed. Has 200 hp thats fast as shit for a jet ski. Check it out. I believe you can find it at honda's website.

type r but turboed? the aquatrax makes 165 hp and isn't anything near the same as an ITR motor. i believe it's a 1.2L 4 stroke and more kin to their bike motors than any b-series.

I believe the motor I am speaking of makes 200 hp I saw it in a mens health mag as one of the "must have items for the summer" Maybe it was a misprint but You are prob right. Even if it is 165 thats still fast for a jet ski.

that honda z or whatever needs turbo to be decent. i think it's just over 100hp lol.

just something to think about though.. a turbo dsm put out 210 at the crank while a N/A honda put out 200. marketing a turbo car while maintaining reliablilty (which is what honda is known for) doesn't come easily. the newer eclipses are V6 instead of turbo too.

oh yeah, i just noticed this

"the Z uses 15 inch rims and 175/80R15 Q-rated tyres "
bahahhaah

4wd is appealing though. i wonder why they made it mid engine

1. I like the xB

seems most new cars are going the way of the ugly stick. non-semetrical lines, and rounded/tubbed looking bodies. its almost the norm for them to look ugly now isnt it? but then 2 or so years later you get used to it, and it doesnt bother you as much. at least for me anyway. im just glad i bought my civic new when i did!

a day late.

Sea Doo makes a 215hp supercharged jet ski.
