It should be close to that since it has to be better than the Si we get here in the US.

I heard a ton of rumors of a turbo 4 for the Acura RDX.

I wouldn't be surprised if they get a cool looking type-R hatch while we got a hot detuned sedan...

You would have to go through someone else (not Honda) for that. The time, money, and effort spend would definitely not be worth the end result.

You could, but you would have to legalize it to drive it and it would be RHD, so you'd be driving on the far side of the road, the side close to the curb... yeah, not worth it unless you're a millionaire or a hard core Honda fan.

hard to think that honda will make a factory turbo car... but then again, look at the market, a lot of the competitors have force induction cars. dodge srt-4, chevy cobalt, saturn redline, scion tC (optional s/c)... but then again, these cars are not that far in performance from the rsx-s which has no force induction...
