I do. I'd look at at the Quattrro, 4Matic, and, uh, "BMW X" systems for the inspiration for the SH-AWD, and pure economic necessity for the 4t instead of V6 engine on the RDX. Why in the world to ricers think that the technology on a $35k turbo SUV and a $50k AWD luxury sedan were driven and inspired by a couple of $30k econo-rods?

Honda + SH-AWD = not good on fuel

or at least from what I see from the V6's they make..


we will see how far Honda wants to pull away from MPG in the cars

I'd have to say that Mitsubishi has maintained the ugliest line of cars for sale in the US over the past decade. Are they only aspiring to rental car status?

Anyway, if Honda was smart they would quickly develop a new car for all the Evo guys to feed into...and perhaps most of the current S2k owners as well when time comes. After all how much longer can the S2k keep going?

Maybe we'll indeed see a s3ki.com, r2ki.com, r2kpsi.com....etc... Should be fun to see how the future pans out in this arena.
They did it to themselves with all the crap they have pulled in the last few years financially and how they mishandle their customers. Sad that a company that builds a car as fun and capable as the Evolution can suck so bad at everything else.

nice job of getting the news before it hit the press! I think i was one of the non-believers until i saw it in Automotive News last week.

I had nearly no problems with my Evo or a 1996 Gallant that we leased for 30 months.... both performed above average and took abuse doing it.

Agree.


A friend of mine owns a 2003 model STi and it goes the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds. I have driven it and find it

If i had an Evo i'm sure i'd have a blast too though. Upgrades look so juicy, and you can drive it anytime. I cought myself looking at Evos/STIs/ & 911Turbos for a 2nd vehicle this week...hehe

OF couse i could aim lower and go CRV or older Subaru.
