Just wonder how everybody feels about the new technology used in Honda's concept car, the DualNote. Actually, the technology isn't all that new for Honda, but just a refinement and tweaking of some of the stuff that we have seen on the Insight and upcoming Civic Hybrid.

It seems like this stuff could very well be headed for the next NSX and I am curious as to what everybody on this board thinks. In a lot of ways it makes sense. VTEC is good all over but great on the high end, so I was curious why Honda was not offering IMA with the new i-VTEC for even more bottom end juice. Maybe the IMA and battery was to heavy and complicated for performace cars? Anyway, what would you prefer the next NSX powerplant (and other future powerplants) to be. A i-VTEC V-8? A i-VTEC V-6? Or a i-VTEC V-6 with IMA technology? The fourth option I am leaving out
(i-VTEC V-8 with IMA) because, well, it just seems unlikely Honda would do it. Here is a Autoexpress article on the DualNote if this is all new to you:
