I wonder if that wing will be standard or if they are just screwing with some ideas. Car itself looks nice.
The funny thing is that if you zoom in one of those pictures you can see the guy staring at the camera. haha

If they do go the route of a 2.0T, and they stated it would have very similar HP but more TQ, I would see this along the lines of the JCW MINI Cooper.....208HP/210ish TQ.
Probably utilize a small twin scroll turbo to practically eliminate turbo lag.

I think in 1998, Honda Prelude base had the price of $26-$30K.
