I dont' know how reliable that is; isn't the RDX supposed to be a very affordable small SUV? If there is a turbo, it probably isn't for performance but rather to bring it up to par while saving gas (just like the old turbos that Honda had a long time ago).

didn't some magazines print that the S2000 would come with a 5 cylinder engine?

i really wish they would get serious and boost some stuff. honda is extremely talented w/turbochargers... its a freakin waste. their entire line of performace cars need a 30 or 40 hp kick in the butt.

So I wonder (assuming true) what size turbo they will use. And could I drop in a bigger one?

Better yet, where will the intercooler be? I'm hoping that it's not like the STI.

1st production Honda turbo was the City (aka Bulldog).

2nd production Honda (Acura) turbo was a Legend.

Was the first competion turbo the Toleman F1 car (before Honda joined Williams?)

Honda has made turbo diesels for quite some time in Europe.
