I'm just messin' with you man... all the new guys hafta' be given a tough time.
Anyway, I thought it was hinted that "Honda was developing a hybrid, it was targeted for performance, and it could be an Acura" or something along the lines of that?

the above pics are taken from acuradmdx.org
The mdx may not look adventurous, but it does loook classy and contemporary...also w/ 260hp now and a new 5speed tranny and new drive by wire mechanism (the nsx is the only other acura to have this), this car MOOOOVESS for an suv...In C&D 1/03, the mdx did 0-60 in 7.8 sec. which is as quick or quicker than the 98-02 gen6 v6 accord
....not bad for an suv if u ask me

It will totally ruin the driving dynamics of that car. One of the IS' main strongpoints was that it had great handling. So they plan to substitute handling for power now huh? It'd be much smarter of them to turbo the car.

Keep in mind the MDX is 3 years old...that is impressive.
