This has to be a prank.

If you look at the URL you see http://www.candieandzack.com
so they are mirroring the CD site.

What would Honda get out of this anyway? Who would service
the car? Would it have Honda or Subaru badges?

That's amazing! I wonder if it looks like an S2K or if it's more like the Subie. Definitely a pure sports car, though - it's faster than a 360 Modena and probably a Viper too (in the 1/4 mile). Crazy!

No way. CD wouldn't publish an article written so poorly and we wont see anything from japan with 400+ HP.

Agree, has to be a fake. Why, do you ask? Never, I mean NEVER, have we gotten any real detail about significant changes out of Honda.
No pictures? Come on!
Now, if it is real, I'll just shut up and eat crow in my measly little 240 crank HP stooker.

Notice it says under the writer's name "August 2002." Has Car and Driver even published their August edition yet? Are they past the July issue?

If you go to this site you'll see the original... they just found a way to tap into C&D so it looks like it's official.

Good prank, although hardly original.
