And once again, you can't be happy about the fact that the displacement was increased without increase in HP.
Honda could prob. increase the performance, but then the price would go up as well and people would complain about that. Blame the competition...Honda has very little in it's price bracket, which doesn't inspire huge continued engineering developments, esp. given the low sales volumes.

Who cares about hp/L ratings? Does it enhance your ego to tell your friends how your car makes 240 hp/L? The 2.2L has a much wider powerband, w/ more usable power across the majority of it. I suspect it is faster for more drivers w/ less than expert skill.

DOH! I knew it was 120! 
Owning many sportbikes, 120hp/L isn't a huge deal to mean...it's just an overgrown sportbike engine. I'd be concerned it the engine gained weight in growing to 2.2L w/o the relative power increase, but since it didn't the added tq. is almost a "free" benefit w/ no downside other than the loss of 1K rpm in the redline.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the VSA can be turned off. I just looked through the interior gallery, and no button for VSA. I also noticed that everyone has been mentioning Traction control, but not Stability control.
