I got to thinking about this and realized that it's so easy for them to get over 240hp... they ahve the engine right now, the 3.5 v6 in the MDX... MDX is Odessey based, and the Odessey is supposed to be accord based... that means getting it to fit should be easy. But to me the bad news then is that there still won't be a V6 + manual... cause there's no manual right now for the 3.5

The current Odyssey is not Accord based... that was the last one(95-98), the current Ody(99' on) is the largest vehicle that Honda has ever built. that being said... can't believe the 3.5 is much bigger than the 3.2 in the accords and TL's.

But either way, like you said, it couldn't be much larger and I bet would/could fit.
