Default Honda moving to V6?

I've been noticing all the new Honda concept cars revolve around a 3.5L i-VTEC V6. Here is the latest Honda to have it http://www.hondanews.com/forms/acura/conce...x.html?kwx=dn-x

Which other ones are V6's? I haven't really been following the concept cars. Are they all Acura concepts? That would make sense. I can't really see Honda putting that big a motor in the S. I wouldn't mind seeing a 3.0 V8 in 5 years though!!!

Mid-engine, rear wheel drive - do they mean front-mid engine or rear-mid engine?

The DNX is a Honda Dualnote, painted red, with a stupid name. The Dualnote was shown at the Tokyo show. True mid engine design, with IMA and a host of high tech goodies.

As an aside, I was thinking that this might be a cover for the new NSX underpinnings. The power and layout are about right (400 HP mid engine). Honda could be using this as a way to determine support for a high performance IMA system.

Don't put too much in what engines concept cars have, remember the S2000 concept had a I5.
