Make it rear wheel drive and it will sell in the US.

1.0L 120HP? thats pretty damn good.

[90civicracer]

Most likely if it ever made it into production in the US it would be drastically (spelling???) changed from that version, who knows though.

neato don't like the lights though

[91civicDXdude]

that 1.0L DOHC VTEC is the same engine rumored to be going into the global platform "CRX"..

[Hybrid1990crx]

Holy shit, 120 hp from 1.0???? Thats nuts. Why such a small motor?

[Santas90Si]

The small motor is probably due in part of the small vechicle its put in.

this would be an awesome addition to the honda lineup, only if it were rear wheel drive, finally honda would have a direct competitor to the miata, dubbed the last 'real' sportscar, if they can do this for under 20g you would see one everywhere and honda would be a major player once again.

as far as 120hp from 1.0L wow, thats amazing, plus the small size of the motor would keep that weight so low, imagine the tuning possibilites.

[90civicracer]

120hp per liter...that would be something (granted its only 1 liter total, lol) But yeah i think if it were to be RWD it would make it a lot better.

[Ace$nyper]

pick up motor i'm sure its light enogh bolt into trunk prob sloved LOL! yea if she was RWD i'd buy one in sec still not feeling them headlights

[nemo_wolf]

that article is a few months old now ... ive been creaming my pants over that car since then. yea i wonder how eactly they manage 120 hp from only 1liter but hey thats honda for you. but i agree that those headlights are not really flowing with the car. i plan on checking with my dealership late 04 to see if they have plans to take orders for 05.

[90civicracer]

I wouldnt mind one as an extra car but more than likely my fat ass (and tall) wouldn't fit in it, lol.

[civ88]

dont like the lights either........and the front end is a little sketchy.......but its still a car that i would drive

[nemo_wolf]

comparitivly speaking ... this is an economy model of the s2000 ... with this assumption in mind i dont see why it wouldnt be RWD now that i think about it.

nother thing to think about, is that honda has a history of changing the body of most of the cars after 4 or 5 years ... 88-91, 92-95, ect ect so if they keep this up by the time we get the s1000 they might have changed to the body style to something more appealing which means everyone is gonna go JDM, new concept huh?

anyways thats just some random thoughts i have.

Sounds like the JDM Honda Beat. Nice little Kei car, but you don't really want to be monstered by other traffic in one
