Anybody think Honda might have plans to offer a V6 model eventually (not that I don't love my F20C, just curious about all the room under the hood)? If so, perhaps it would carry the Acura badge, solving the ever-mysterious p.206.

I think it's because they wanted to place the engine behind the front axle to get the 50-50 weight distribution and not becase they were planning to put in a bigger engine.
