Finally something positive coming out of them. Will be quite fun to see what they come out with.

this isn't the 90s; no matter how small this car may be, they'd better either use something similar to the K20 or put a turbo on one of their smaller engines.

Eh a 1.5l l series engine would be fun aswell. a k20 aswell. But they should maybe bring over a 1.6 turbo.

Regardless, look at the BRZ, that's not turbo. Not all people want the car to be fast to make it fun.

never said it has to be a turbo, just if its less powerful than the k20. The brz/fr-s has a high powered 2 litre boxer engine in it. Even if the new Honda is lighter (we all know its not gonna be 2000 lbs though), they'll want/ need to pony up with an engine that isn't too weak even for a civic.

They definitely need to bring back that K20 engine from the SI. That should be in the CRZ. I think they'd make a mint on it.

I don't think the k20 is on any of their cars anymore. Kind of surprising because it seemed like they had a good engine there.

anyways I found this. http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2013 ... eport.html
