Ha ha haaa Honda is trying to compete with Mazda's new Cx-7. Zoom Zoom!

I don't like the turbo design. It seems neat, but it won't work after a few thousand miles when things get stickey. Mazda had a similar shudder valve in the S4 Rx-7 and they got rid of it for a normal twin scrool and it spooled way better. Shoot s4 owners just take the valve out and the turbo spools better. LOL!

But according to MotorTrend it outdoes the BMW X3 in all categories, so they're slowly nearing their BMW-killing status.
And 260 torque STOCK, and at 4500 RPM?? That's bad-***.

Not to mention it has a handling package not seen since the prelude's demise. The SH, and now in SH-AWD form.

Plus they first brought us the K, and now a K with a turbo, MADE by honda. I just want to see this turbo's preformance in the long run, as i have high faith in honda to it's fullest.

They need more sports cars though. One with a nice RWD 4-seater (not 4-door), and at least some more 'honda-looking.' The new civic is slightly odd compared to the normal civic facia, which made my lust for the 06 RSX rise as the new civic was unvieled. Nice numbers and technology, but under the hood of a like-able yet un-honda-esque appearance.

The Fit is GO though!!

But I guess I'll learn to live with it and stick to the pre 06' models.
(But killing the NSX, AND RSX?? WTF!?!?)

Edit: And as far as the Mazda w/e SUV thing goes, I think the Acura's chizled, executive, yet sporty design looks alot nicer.
The mazda reminds me of a weird slug that can go fast, and has the aerodynamics to show for it, lol.
