It'll be a cold day in hell when Honda releases a car with a turbo/supercharger. But you're right, if they ever did release one it would own all. Honda engineers are geniuses.

Why do you say that Jas M? It could happen. They almost have to to stay up with the competion. Don't they?

Jas M - They have built turbo'd AWD TSX prototypes and they're thinking of bringing it over here. So its not as farfetched as you think.

Maybe not farfetched, but i'd consider it very unlikely. More than likely, the TSX would come here with awd, but no turbo. I remember reading somewhere that Honda chooses not to release turbocharged cars to the public for fear of sacrificing reliability and customer satisfaction. If i find the article or a link to it i'll post it. I'd love to see Honda release a car with a turbo, don't get me wrong, but based on what i read, it would be very surprising if it actually happened.

According to a member of ClubRSX who went to Honda Labs:

-I think they already have an AWD TSX there, and they want the turbo to boost the power so it can compete with the WRX, etc.
-The RSX is losing sales to the similarly priced TSX, a turbo would add cost and seperate the two

I like everything you said except the clutchless tranny. What fun would that be? Anyway I am waiting for now. If there isn't that much of a difference I will get a used 2004.

I read in the new Speed magazine (which is a performance enthusiast's takeoff of Road & Track) that the new 05 RSX will have a new fascia that closely resembles the Honda "family" look, and will have new taillights that closely resemble the Integra's of old. Plus the car will have a clutchless six speed tranny, which is also going to go in the new TSX, whenever that comes out, but the engine is remaining the same.
