This system is awesome. It combines awd with the special handling system that was in the last gen Preludes. I hope that Honda can put this system in the next Civic or the RSX.

Def interesting. Still, even though I love honda, Im really skeptic to see how this drivetrain holds up. Its been a general rule of thumb for me to give a new system on any car at least 2-3 years before I even consider purchasing it. I guess time will show...

Maybe the reign of subies/Mitsus dominating WRC has finally come to an end.......or maybe not

Also SHAWD drivetrain sounds a lot like the AYC system found on the mitsubishi evolutions 4 on up (in japan)

SH-AWD sounds so technical but seems very promising. I hope they change the name HDTV (Honda Dreamers TV) to HRTV (Honda Reality TV). That Honda Inspire, which by the way looks way better than our Honda Accord, seemed to handle so well on that track.

If Honda (Acura) puts it in a compact car, I'll wait in line to get one.

The Acura RL, aka Honda Legend will make a nice addition to the market! It looks like a BMW 7 series from the back and an accord or tsx from the front. Very nice!
